Tampa, Fl-  If the world is not careful, a major water war will happen very soon. Serious words from Dr. David Stuckenberg, an aerospace engineer and former Air Force pilot who developed and invented the WaterCube, a Genesis Systems innovation. The Tampa Bay tech company is located near the gates of MacDill Air Force Base-home of Central and Special Operations Commands.

Stuckenberg lives, breathes, and talks water, and unlike the movie “Chinatown,” where greed and scandals invaded the early 1900s California water wars, he doesn’t want to see that dark chapter of water history repeat itself.  He says, “It’s all about folks having enough to eat and drink clean water, and what are technology companies doing about that?” This is his mission.  His relentless motivation and passion to save the world. Can his WaterCube “water from air” technology achieve that lofty goal?

Stuckenberg believes Genesis Systems is the solution and, with a Jeff Bezos bravado, he says his technology will revolutionize the world of water.  Two years ago, at the first water conference in 46 years, Genesis Systems, NASDAQ, and the United Nations talked about water markets, water scarcity, innovation, and investment.  Dangerous numbers were showcased that proved the crucial need to get water solutions quickly.  According to the UN study, only 3 percent of the water in the world is fresh water; 25 percent water scarcity is currently worldwide; and only 40 percent of the water in the USA is groundwater. This scarcity is creating major conflicts worldwide. Stuckenberg says, “By allowing water to be available in the most remote places, we actually reduce conflicts, we bring down hatred.” Is it a peace philosophy via water?

Stuckenberg continues his goodwill technology advocacy. He talks about the many places around the world that are on the very edge when it comes to supplying their population with fresh and clean water.  Kabul, Afghanistan, with a population of 6 million, South Africa, and the Congo, even Arizona, are on his mind.  Kabul could run out of water very soon.  “When these folks run out of water, guess who is responsible?  They are five meals away from total anarchy. We create the water at the point of need, we generate it right from the air, and then there’s no need for any transporting.  So, you reduce the risk of any violence, turmoil, and confusion. A water solution that keeps tragedy at bay.”

Stuckenberg has been developing water technology for a decade and understands what’s at stake.

The idea developed when flying combat missions over an airbase in Qatar. He witnessed lines of trucks carrying water and thought about what would happen if these trucks were destroyed due to attacks, bombs, or IEDs.  That turned on his Alexander Graham Bell switch to create a water technology system that could alleviate a logistics problem.  It worked.  Now his team is developing safeguards against all sorts of attacks on his water technology. Stuckenberg says, from cyber to biological, the WaterCube technology is prepared to meet and beat any adversary. He adds, “It’s a technology that’s five years ahead of his competitors.

“The Watercube-WC100 can produce 100 gallons per day via the air. With this transportable system, you can place it in the desert and produce water.”  He mentions this is cutting-edge technology that no one has.  “Three days without water, you cease to exist.  With the Watercube technology, you survive.”

Genesis Director of Intelligence Herschel Campbell, like Stuckenberg, is in awe of the technology. The Watercube saves big dollars. Campbell says, “It can save DOD tens of millions of dollars in transporting bottled water.  With the WC 1000, which churns out 1 thousand gallons a day, there’s no need to transport bottled water.  This eliminates close to 100 C-17 Globe Master transports of bottled water each year.”  This also creates an environmentally friendly result.  Fewer empty plastic water bottles to dispose of.

Stuckenberg wants everyone to know the Genesis System technology will save lives. “We are in the business of making sure all humans have water.  Make sure water is available because it uplifts commerce and it creates less strain on society.”

Stuckenberg believes his Genesis Systems team will win the Nobel Prize in science and technology, and he’s ready to solve the water crisis. “It doesn’t matter if you’re in bottling, it doesn’t matter if you’re into making microchips, it doesn’t matter if you’re into AI, you’re going to be dependent on water. And if you haven’t locked into your water source and supply, you’ve got some big challenges coming your way…”

Genesis Systems is taking small steps with giant leaps to occur soon.  What happened in Malawi with the WaterCube technology is a prime example of what the “water via air” technology is capable of.  A farmer with five acres needed water and was told by the Malawi government he was on a 20-year water wait list.   Stuckenberg connected with the farmer, and suddenly that long wait was gone. Happy endings do happen in the world of water.
