what is water atm

A Water ATM is an automated water dispensing machine that functions similarly to a bank ATM, providing 24/7 access to clean and safe drinking water. These machines are often installed in public places such as railway stations, bus stands, and communities to address water scarcity and contamination issues. Users can purchase purified water, typically at an affordable rate of ₹1 to ₹5 per litre, by using coins, smart cards, or digital payments. Most Water ATMs utilize purification technologies like Reverse Osmosis (RO) and UV to ensure the water quality is safe for consumption.
