Drink in the PROFITS with WTAR today

“Water, Water Everywhere and not a drop to drink”.  That quote, from the Rime of the Ancient Mariner is uttered by sailors that are dying of thirst on a ship, ironically enough, surrounded by water.

Unfortunately, the same stanza can be uttered by people, organizations, and governments around the world.

From the United Nations Water Site (www.unwater.org) , we learn that while over 70% of the earth’s surface is covered by water, most of it is unsuitable for human consumption. It is estimated that freshwater lakes, rivers and underground aquifers represent only 2.5 per cent of the world’s total water supply (the rest is salt water and not potable).

This potable water is also very unevenly distributed around the globe. Countries such as Brazil, Russia and Canada are blessed with an abundance of fresh water – although even these countries still have problems supplying drinking water to all their citizens.

Other areas of the world, such as China, Mexico and India are not so lucky. China has approximately 21 per cent of the world’s population but has access to only 7 per cent of the world’s freshwater. Beijing is sinking by four inches per year as a result of water over-consumption and depletion of its water table. Certain areas in Mexico are sinking as much as one foot per year.

Since 70% of the Earth’s surface is covered in water….why do we need companies that “make water”? Why do we even have water shortages?  Unfortunately, most of the water in the world is not usable or accessible for everyday purposes.

Huge market opportunities exist for companies (like our alert company today) to deliver fresh, clean water directly to where it is needed…for business, personal and humanitarian purposes.

My alert company today is Wataire International, Inc. (WTAR)

Wataire International, Inc., a development stage company, is engaging in the marketing and distribution of commercial and home/office atmospheric water generation machines in the United States and around the world.

What is an “Atmospheric Water Generator” (AWG).

AWGs are a new application of a well-known principle and an existing technology. They work by converting humidity in the air to water. The air entering an AWG is filtered so that only clean air passes across the cold surface of the machine’s coil. Subsequent filtration and ultraviolet (UV) treatment ensures that the drinking water is bacteria and virus free. AWGs work using exactly the same principle as a dehumidifier – except that the water is collected and stored rather than simply evacuated.

• It sells small-scale units, which include an upright model and a countertop model to produce between 4 to 7 gallons of water per day depending on humidity and temperature levels of the location of the unit;

• Commercial/industrial units that produce approximately 5,000 liters/1320 gallons per day of safe drinking water

Potential Markets and customers

To date, WTAR has identified high-potential applications for Atmospheric Water Generators (AWGs) in 10 different markets worldwide that it will initially target. These ten markets include, among others:
1. Military applications;
2. Oil and mining operations;
3. New and existing tourist resorts,
4. Beverage bottling plants,
5. Housing developments (where an AWG can be supplied as a appliance.)
6. Greenhouses and agriculture
7. Tourist resorts
8. Commercial
9. Residential
10. Humanitarian Purposes

WTAR’s target customers include businesses, governments, and people who are situated in numerous countries around the world. In addition, it owns intellectual property relating to a water treatment process and devices for water-from-air machines.

According to recent studies by the World Health Organization, approximately 1 billion people lack access to potable water. China alone, with its 1.26 billion people and over 300 cities are running short on water due to pollution and increased demand. Other countries such as India, whose population is expected to grow to 1.36 billion people by 2025, are also facing a water crisis.

“These markets represent a significant opportunity for our company both in terms of potential sales but mainly for the impact on peoples lives our technology and products will have” said Robert Rosner, President and CEO of Wataire International Inc. “Our award winning product will now have a true impact on peoples lives returning sustainable value to our shareholders both in terms of financial reward and social capital.”  Read full release here.

Agua De Aire Latin America Inc. is currently working with state and municipal government in providing a solution to the provision of clean, drinkable water. The company has also begun commercializing the home and office unit (WATAIRE 4010) to government, corporations and individuals.

“Since we became a distributor for Wataire, the response and demand from corporations and government agencies has been overwhelming,” said Mr. Javier Deboy, Sales Manager for Agua De Aire Latin America Inc.

“The Mexican market is a very important market for Wataire due to its inadequate supply and availability of clean drinking water. The market is filled with suppliers of bottled water services, which make home and office deliveries and these services have continually increased in price, leaving a huge potential for our WATAIRE 4010 unit,” said Robert Rosner, CEO of WTAR. “The water issue is being addressed by the various levels of governments and a priority is being emphasized to provide the 100 million inhabitants with clean, drinkable water and Wataire’s products will be at the forefront of such a solution,” further added Mr. Rosner.

To the chart:

After a strong runup in mid-September, the stock has retreated to trade in the 10 to 12 cent range.  The stock is neither oversold or overbought.  The MACD continues to trend in a bullish direction and is well above the zero line.  The recent volume spikes have shown strong accumulation wherein the highest volume was on the up days and the lower volume on down or “selling” days.  There is a possibility that WTAR can retest its recent highs.  If that 19 cent level is breached, there doesn’t appear to be any meaningful resistance ahead.

Do your due diligence.  Be sure and check out the company website.  It is chock full of good information about what they are accomplishing.

WTAR has the potential to be my THIRD winner of the week…and, it is only Tuesday!
