WATA is an electro-chlorinator that produces sodium hypochlorite from water, salt and an energy source (which can be solar). This active chlorine is used for the treatment of drinking water and the production of surface disinfectant.

WATA is relevant for the disinfection of drinking water supply networks in rural or peri-urban areas. It is also used to treat water for displaced populations during humanitarian crises. In isolated health centers, WATA allows the autonomous production of disinfectant.
