Akhil Projects Limited invites distributors worldwide to be a part of this truly magnificent product. The development of this unique spring water resource has been approved by the relevant regulatory bodies of the Fiji Government. The Pre-feasibility and Environmental Impact Assessment Reports have been completed by Sinclair Knight Merz and can be downloaded from here.

Extracts from Sinclair Knight Merz Report suggests the following:
The spring water resource is sustainable and of high quality. The spring water on the Akhil Projects Limited property at Teidamu (Fiji Islands) is estimated to provide a sustainable flow rate of at least 5 litres per second (150 ML per year). Water extracted for bottling is likely to represent far greater quantity considering the total potential of other natural springs on the property.

The water resource fits within the definition of "spring water" since it is derived from an underground formation, which flows naturally to the surface. This differs from "artesian water" which is water from a well and may be collected with the assistance of external force to enhance the natural underground pressure.

The water from the spring is established to be greater than 50 years old and the groundwater is not susceptible to contamination. Tritium analysis results support the water chemistry and stable isotope analysis results which indicate that the water is very old and originates many kilometres from the source. The chemistry and stable isotopic composition of the Teidamu spring water suggests it has an inland source, possibly between Mount Evans Range and the Nasauri Highlands, in the Nadi (Fiji Islands) region. This is encouraging from the point of view of developing a long-term, bottled spring water plant because it would imply the aquifer is reasonably well separated from the potentially contaminating effects of local surface waters.

The spring water generally has a composition well within the range seen for well known commercial bottled waters, and has a relatively higher silica content (82.3 mg/kg), which is considered a favourable attribute. The spring water has a neutral pH, calcium bicarbonate composition and a TDS of 120-170 mg/kg. The moderate TDS level produces a spring water of high palatability. Contaminants including faecal coliform bacteria, heavy metals, herbicides and pesticides were either below detection limits for the laboratory or below the US FDA limits.

From the overall assessment, the proposed spring water bottling plant project will have very minimal adverse social, economic and environmental impacts. The project's implementation will result in a series of improvements or positive impacts on the total environment provided that the appropriate management plans and other mitigating measures are put in place.

Akhil Projects Limited is looking for distributors, importers, supermarkets, hotel chains, cruise liners, airlines and catering businesses all over the world who would be interested in making this unique refreshing spring water a part of consumers' everyday life. Bottled spring water from Fiji Islands has taken the American market by storm as stated in Government of Fiji news releases.
