In the modern age, our urban landscapes are a testament to human ingenuity, with towering high-rises and sprawling commercial centers dominating city skylines. However, beneath the impressive facades and sleek interiors lies a darker truth—a dangerous gamble where human lives are often treated as mere collateral in the pursuit of profits. This reality is starkly evident in the ongoing struggle over Legionnaires’ disease and the alarming choices made by building owners and decision-makers.
Legionnaires' disease, a severe form of pneumonia caused by the bacterium Legionella pneumophila, has become a looming threat in industrial air-conditioning systems. These systems, integral to the comfort of countless office workers, shoppers, and tenants, can become breeding grounds for the bacteria if their water systems are not meticulously maintained. The cost of keeping these systems clean and operational is significant, especially in high-rise buildings where water management becomes a logistical and financial challenge.
Walter Ivison, CEO of World Environmental Solutions, has championed a promising solution to this crisis—a patented Air Water Maker designed to reduce reliance on traditional water sources for cooling systems. By introducing this innovative technology to the rooftops of high-rise buildings, we could significantly lower the risk of Legionnaires’ disease while ensuring that air-conditioning systems remain safe and effective. Yet, despite its potential to save lives, this solution has faced persistent resistance, primarily driven by the economic concerns of building owners.
Herein lies the crux of the issue: the decision-makers of these high-rise buildings often prioritize profit margins over the safety and well-being of those who use or frequent their properties. The cost of implementing advanced water treatment solutions, like Ivison’s Air Water Maker, is frequently deemed excessive compared to the potential cost of a Legionnaires' outbreak. This calculation, however, is a moral and ethical travesty. It places financial gain above human life, reducing people to mere variables in a profit-driven equation.
It is vital to recognize that this approach is not merely a matter of fiscal prudence but a dangerous form of negligence. Building owners and developers, by prioritizing lower initial costs over the safety of occupants, are effectively playing God with the lives of innocent people. They gamble with the health and safety of the very individuals who sustain their business ventures—employees, customers, and tenants. This cavalier attitude towards human life, driven by the pursuit of profit, reflects a profound moral failure.
The human cost of such decisions is not abstract or theoretical; it is real and immediate. Each case of Legionnaires' disease represents a life disrupted, health compromised, and families affected. For those who fall ill or lose their lives, the pursuit of economic efficiency comes at an unimaginable personal price. This is not just a cost of business but a grave injustice perpetrated in the name of profit.
As society progresses, it is imperative that we hold building owners and developers accountable for the safety of their structures. Financial calculations must be balanced with ethical considerations, and the health of individuals should never be sacrificed for the sake of economic gain. Advocates like Walter Ivison are not just pushing for technological advancements but are fighting for a fundamental shift in how we value human life in our commercial and industrial practices.
Ultimately, the decision to invest in solutions that safeguard lives should not be a matter of cost versus benefit but a moral imperative. The buildings that dot our skylines should not only reflect our architectural prowess but also our commitment to the well-being of every person who walks through their doors. In the end, it is not just about the dollars and cents but about the lives that are worth far more than any profit margin.

In 2019, WES sounded the alarm about imminent "water wars" that were on the horizon, sparking concerns that we're drawing ever closer to a catastrophic water crisis. The link provided below sheds light on these looming challenges: Link to Source: The Coming Water Wars
As we delve into the insights shared by NDTV, it becomes increasingly clear that we're inching toward a critical juncture. The water scarcity conundrum presents a complex puzzle with not one, but numerous solutions. The urgency of the situation is dawning upon more and more people, driving the pursuit of alternatives to secure drinking water. The result? A surge in companies entering the industry, aiming to provide a lifeline in this crisis. However, it's important to discern fact from exaggeration. While some newcomers make grandiose claims, it's crucial to tread carefully and avoid falling for misleading information that can tarnish the reputation of this vital technology.
The challenges are real, but so are the solutions. In some regions, accessing water from the air might seem implausible, and in others, it might not be cost-effective or feasible. The triumvirate of low humidity, low temperature, and high altitude stands as the technology's three formidable foes.
Water scarcity is no longer a distant issue – it's a global concern that's impacting regions worldwide. The factors contributing to this crisis are numerous: population growth, urbanization, industrialization, climate change, and inefficient water management practices. The repercussions are far-reaching, affecting society and the environment at large.
According to the latest data from the World Resources Institute's Aqueduct Water Risk Atlas, a pressing water emergency looms large on the global stage. A staggering 25 nations, encompassing a quarter of the world's population, are currently grappling with alarmingly elevated levels of annual water stress. But the crisis doesn't stop there. Approximately 50% of the world's population – that's 4 billion individuals – experience water stress for at least one month each year. Shockingly, this figure could climb to nearly 60% by 2050.
The figures speak volumes: by 2050, a whopping $70 trillion in GDP, equivalent to 31% of global GDP, will be exposed to high water stress. This is a significant leap from the $15 trillion (24% of global GDP) reported in 2010. The economic implications are undeniable, with countries like India, Mexico, Egypt, and Turkey slated to bear the brunt of this crisis.
The report also spotlights 25 nations, a quarter of the world's population, that undergo severe water stress annually. Notably, regions like Bahrain, Cyprus, Kuwait, Lebanon, and Oman face the most dire impacts. Even a brief drought could push these areas to the brink of water scarcity.
The regions facing the highest water stress are predominantly in the Middle East and North Africa, where a staggering 83% of the population grapples with extreme water stress. Similarly, South Asia isn't far behind, with a significant 74% of its population exposed to such conditions.
Samantha Kuzma, Aqueduct data lead from WRI's water program and a report author, aptly puts it, "Water is arguably our most important resource on the planet, and yet we're not managing it in a way that reflects that." The pressing need for a change in approach is undeniable.
Amidst these challenges, a beacon of hope emerges – your very own water maker. A solution that transcends geographical limitations, humidity levels, and altitudes. Imagine having the power to secure your water source, irrespective of external circumstances. This isn't just a product; it's a lifeline. As the world grapples with water scarcity, you can take charge of your water destiny with cutting-edge technology that doesn't just offer a solution, but a future.

World Environmental Solutions Pty Limited (WES) in association with Belrose Rotary, Youth Up Front and Property Portfolio Solutions (PPS), have come together under the Peak Hill Central School Employment Readiness Program to provide an Atmospheric Water Maker for the children of the school.
With the Employment Readiness Program, a pet project of Belrose Rotary which has been conducted now in excess of 20 years, providing skills to the students leaving and entering the workforce ever growing as part of the “giving back” strategy of Rotary.
With cash generously donated to Belrose Rotary by PPS, a business of Rotarian and past President Jeff Banks, the World Environmental Solutions machine will provide up to 60 litres of clean and cool drinking water all day every day to the youth of this Central Western Town.
Speaking at the ceremony to hand the machine over to the School, Wallie Ivison, founder and CEO of WES suggested we all need to say no to plastic water bottles, be they the convenience (and very expensive) use of a single purchase or the slavery of preservative infested water machine bottles, if we are serious about the continued protection of the planet. He also went on to say that within one year, with regular use, Air water Makers such as the 60 Litre one as part of this donation, or the more popular 15 and 30 litre models pay for themselves with the added benefit of cleaner water.

Woodford, Queensland, Australia – May 13, 2022, World Environmental Solutions Pty Limited (WES), a global leader in Water from the Atmosphere was chosen by a large International NGO to supply certain Air to Water Technology (AWG) systems to The Republic of Kirabati in the South Pacific. Their biggest problem today on the Island is drinking water. Sea levels continue to rise due to climate change, and some countries may vanish into the ocean by 2050. The most at-risk is the South Pacific Island nation of Kiribati. Coastal erosion and freshwater contamination could make Kiribati uninhabitable in the next 30 years.
“The WES proprietary AWG Technology will be operated by Solar power in the Republic and will provide many of those Islands the ability to produce clean drinking water ”, says Walter (Wallie) Ivison CEO and founder of WES. “These units are perfect for many NGOs working in remote areas where access to decent drinking water is limited and access to clean drinking water is complex”, added Ivison.
“The various scaled design applications of MultiGen AWG state-of-the-art technology will initially provide a small but helpful solution for a variety of the Islands residents” says Walter Ivison, CEO WES.
This ever increasing and growing crisis with respect to clean drinking water will be coupled with the WES SOLAR HYDRA CUBE providing several larger water stations, a viable option for drinking water as slowly the ocean creeps higher and higher in Kirabati .

Woodford, Queensland, Australia – November 13, 2022, World Environmental Solutions Pty Limited (WES). Our Water from Air Machines arrive on Norfolk Island, the home of descendants of the HMS Bounty Mutiny in the South Pacific. Some of the mutineers moved permanently from Pitcairn Island to Norfolk Island in the mid 1800’s. Their biggest problem today on the Island is drinking water.
“The 1700 or so residents, many descendants of the HMS Bounty, have no reticulated water and rely on rainwater catchment tanks and old bores. Most of these tanks went dry in 2019-2020. Conserving water has enabled islanders to weather inevitable dry years however in recent decades, dry spells in this part of the South Pacific have become more frequent and severe.” says Walter (Wallie) Ivison CEO and founder of WES.
“These units are perfect for many NGOs working in remote areas where access to decent drinking water is limited and is complex . The various scaled design applications of MultiGen Water from Air technology will initially provide a reliable but helpful solution for a variety of the Islands residents and guests ” says Walter Ivison, CEO WES.
This ever increasing and growing crisis with respect to clean drinking water is even more acute as the island relies on Tourists interested in the history of the Island as an early Australian penal colony in the late 18th century. These tourists frequent the many accommodation homes on the Island.

Microplastics are not just tiny particles that can be ingested. They can also carry viruses, a University of Queensland study has revealed.
The study, led by Associate Prof Jianhua Guo and Dr Ji Lu from UQ’s Australian Centre for Water and Environmental Biotechnology (ACWEB), investigated if microplastics can harbour viruses, including the one found inside E. coli bacteria.
“We often hear about the human and environmental harm caused by microplastics in water. But there is little known about whether the tiny microplastic particles can carry viruses,” Dr Guo said.
“We found that viruses can hitchhike on microplastics and prolong their infectivity. It means there could be an increased risk of virus transmission throughout waterways and the environment.”
Dr Lu said they used the E. coli bacteriophage in the study, a virus that infects and replicates within the bacteria and is not harmful to humans.
“By testing polystyrene particles of varying sizes, we found that more than 98 per cent of the virus we used was found on the microplastic, and over half of the viruses could still be detected ten days later – much longer than if the virus particles were free-floating in the water,” Dr Lu said.
The team also tested how sun exposure and the size of microplastics helped prolong the virus’s survival. They found the more environmental damage on the microplastic, the more likely it was to carry viruses.
The preventive solution for your drinking water is an Water from Air Machine.
A shocking new study confirms some of researchers' worst fears: microplastics have been found in human breast milk.
Scientists and environmental activists have been warning the world about the dangers of microplastics for well over a decade. These tiny chemical contaminants have been found on the tops of remote mountains, in ocean water thousands of miles from human settlements, in table salt -- and even in the organs of human beings. Now that we know microplastics are transferring to newborn babies, who rely on breast milk or formula for the first months of their life, there is no excuse not to tackle this problem head on -- our babies deserve better.
The good news is that we know legislation can be effective at reducing plastic pollution. The Microbead-Free Waters Act of 2015 was a great step in this direction, and now we need further legislation targeting the sources of this microplastic pollution that is ending up in tiny babies' bodies. Sign the petition now to tell Congress and the Environmental Protection Agency: work together to reduce microplastic pollution in our environments from the source!
...”The likely world leader in this technology is an Australian company, World Environmental Solutions Pty Ltd, who pioneered during what in Australia was labelled the Millennium Drought: a 10-year affair in Australia in the early to mid 2000s. The result was a company that realised making water was desired as drinking water in many cases but the normal method was cost-prohibitive, with electricity costs soaring. One thing was a certain obstacle: the “Watts = Litres” formula. This company today is furthering research and development into its systems of water from the air using minimal power/electricity.
Their water booster (WB) can double the RH at sites where normal operation of an AWG would be inefficient and not advised. That is, the WB can alter 20% RH into 43% RH prior to condensing or 40% RH into 83% RH prior to condensing. (Patent applied for.) This is a real issue for the Sub-Sahara, outback Australia and other arid areas.
The company’s mainstream development was by use of an air-cooled system known as a MultiGen. This consisted of a multi-patented air-cooled absorption chiller and an air cooled AWM operated free from the waste heat of a Turbine or reciprocating generator exhaust. The by-product of this process is to provide cool, air-conditioned air to a space, while making water, all operated from waste energy of an existing Generator, to activate the process they use to operate the condensing cycle. This process dramatically drops the use of electricity by some 95%, as the energy source is waste heat captured.”
This particular company has a patented system using Hydro gel filters. These hydro gels can absorb moisture as the air passes through the filter impregnated with Hydrogel substance. These hydro gels are impregnated into the filter material and absorb moisture as air passed through it; a small amount of electrical power is periodically applied to the filter sub-straight to “desorb” the moisture from the hydro gels. This pulsing effect resulted in water from the air with minimal energy usage. This pulsing system can also be used in front of most AC systems air intake and thus produce water for a very low cost and at very low RH normally necessary for AWG operation. While still in the R&D phase, prototypes are in operation as proof of concept. “
Fishing line that could wrap around the Earth 18 times is lost in the world’s oceans every year, according to research by CSIRO, Australia’s national science agency, and the University of Tasmania.
The research published today estimates that nearly two per cent of commercial fishing gear is lost or discarded every year, where it becomes a major component of global marine plastic pollution.
Denise Hardesty from CSIRO said this research is the most comprehensive examination of quantitative amounts of abandoned, lost or discarded fishing gear globally to date.
“We found that 14 billion longline hooks, 25 million pots and traps and almost 740,000 km of fishing longlines end up in our oceans through global commercial fishing activities each year,” said Dr Hardesty.
The research used global fishing effort data and interviews with 450 fishers from seven countries around the world including the USA, Indonesia and Morocco. The surveys looked at five major fishing gear types, how much fishing gear was used and lost annually, and gear and vessel characteristics that could influence losses. In general, more gear was lost from smaller fishing vessels, and bottom trawl fishers lost more net than midwater trawl fishers.
The more current estimate presents much lower overall estimates of fishing gear lost at sea than estimates from 2019 which quantified annual gear losses based on literature reviews.
To date, empirical information on how much fishing gear is lost to the oceans has been limited. As fishing gear lost at sea has significant economic, environmental and social impacts, this new research will help inform fisheries management and policy interventions from local to global scales.
“The data collected to create these estimates came directly from fishers themselves to inform our understanding of fishing gear losses at source,” said Kelsey Richardson, lead author of the paper, previously at CSIRO and University of Tasmania.
“There have been increases in global fishing effort, as well as improvements in fishing technologies, including better opportunities to mark, track and recover fishing gears,” Dr Richardson said.
“Our updated estimates help to highlight where efforts need to focus to support fisheries management and gear stewardship interventions to generate targeted solutions to reduce fishing gear ending up in our oceans,” she said.
This research aligns to CSIRO’s Ending Plastic Waste Mission, which has a goal of an 80 per cent reduction in plastic waste entering the environment by 2030.
The research paper is available on the Science Advances webpage.
