Investing in water purification, sacheting and bottling

Justification

It has been discovered that human beings can live without food for more than seven days, whereas, nobody can live for more than seven days without water.  In this regards, well packaged water in a hygienic condition, with the approval of appropriate authorities, will be automatically consumed. One person will likely consume a minimum of one litre of water per day.  In this regard, a minimum of 150 million litres of drinkable water is needed every day in Nigeria. With the failure of government to provide drinkable water to the masses and with the change in dietary pattern of people, packaged water in sachets and bottles is bound to take sizeable portion of this market requirement.  In this regard, the project is bound to enjoy limitless demand.

Water packaging is technically feasible and economically viable.  Raw materials can easily be sourced, not only this, the project is highly viable.

The project is bound to solve unemployment problems. Being a kind of capital injection into the economy other multiplier effects are increased job and income opportunities to Nigerians.
