TWO BUSINESSMEN ARE proposing a possible solution to Barbados’ water problems – atmospheric water generators that extract water from humidity in the very air we breathe.

Canadian Ron Campbell and New Zealand-born Dr Derek Golding are ready to embark on a project to import the machines though their company XS Water.

From this week, Campbell and Golding will be making samples of their drinkable water available to the public. They are at Lewis Drug Mart, Hastings, Christ Church until November 20.

So far XS is a small operation but the partners said it had the potential to revolutionise Barbados’ water system. Golding said the initiative came about when Campbell was here on vacation some years back and realised the island was heading towards a water crisis.
