Aqua Sciences Inc
Abe M. Sher is the Founder, Chairman & CEO of Aqua Sciences, Inc., a Delaware corporation involved in the development, manufacture and sale of advanced water technology products and services. Under Mr. Sher's leadership, Aqua Sciences has developed and is currently selling innovative atmospheric water generators that will generate drinking water virtually anywhere on the planet, including "dry" deserts. Contracts spearheaded by Mr. Sher include those with the Boeing Company, Lockheed Martin, the United States Army, and the United States Department of Homeland Security-Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), among numerous other key international deals.
Most recently, Aqua Sciences deployed its Emergency Water Generators to Haiti with the US Government in the aftermath of the recent Haiti Earthquake catastrophe. Aqua Sciences was the primary supplier of water at the largest hospital in the country of Haiti, University Hospital in Port au Prince, which was staffed by leading physicians and medical personnel from around the world. Aqua Sciences was recognized by physicians and other medical staff at the hospital, including, among others, Dr. Thomas Kirsch, the Director of Operations of Emergency Medicine at Johns Hopkins University Hospital, who published that Aqua Sciences' technology and staff "probably saved more lives than anything (he) did as a physician." The water was used in Haiti for drinking, hygiene, wound cleansing, surgical scrubbing and for baby formula mixing. Our Emergency Water Generator was dubbed the "Miracle Machine" by hospital staff and assisted in saving thousands of lives.
Further, under Mr. Sher's tenure, Aqua Sciences' proprietary technology has received numerous international accolades and awards, including Time Magazine's 2006 Best Inventions, The Wall Street Journal's 2007 Innovations Awards (Top Prize, Environmental category, Silver Prize Overall), Going Green-KPMG Top 100 Private Companies of 2007.
