In India, 88 million people are deprived of safe drinking water owing to various reasons such as dry climatic conditions and groundwater contamination or depletion.

Madhu Vajrakarur, an electrical engineering student from Anantapur district in Andhra Pradesh, along with his family were also without access to a continuous supply of electricity or clean drinking water.

But this young innovator wasn’t going to sit and watch!

He came up with an unconventional solution. Madhu designed a wind turbine behind his house, which produces both electricity and drinking water.

Today, the wind turbine provides his family with 80 to 100 litres of water every day. He has also been able to cut down on high electricity bills by using a motor to pump water from borewells. His neighbours also benefit from the wind turbine whenever they are short on drinking water.

#WingifyEarth encourages such proactive actions to safeguard the environment and keep them clean.
