Quest Water Global, Inc. (OTCBB:QWTR) ("Quest" and or "Quest Water"
and or "Company"), an innovative water technology company, and
developer of the AQUAtap(TM) Community Drinking Water Station and
WEPS(TM) Water Extraction and Purification System, announced today
the successful visit by Angolan Ministry of Energy and Water and
Ministry of Industry officials to the Company's operating AQUAtap
installation in Bom Jesus, Angola. The Secretary of State for
Energy and Water, and approximately 25 other Ministry officials,
joined Ministry of Industry representatives August 3, 2012 for a
tour of Quest Water's solar-powered water purification and
distribution system in the rural community 50 kilometers south-east
of Luanda.
Quest Water's management believes the joint visit represents a
key phase in the Company's business operations in Angola under the
country's "Water for All" program, and that the success of this
visit by the two ministries will present Quest with opportunity to
move to the next stage of relations with the Angolan
government.
"This joint visit by the two ministries to our AQUAtap
installation in Bom Jesus is one of the most significant milestones
in Quest Water's two and half years working with the Angolan
Government," said Peter Miele, Quest Water Global Co-Founder and
Executive Vice President. "One of the challenges in Angola is
distribution and getting clean water to residents of rural
communities lacking infrastructure. Our AQUAtap Community Drinking
Water Stations were designed in consultation with many of the
Angolan government officials who toured the site last week."
Costa Joaquim, Quest Water's project manager in Angola was
present at the event to demonstrate use of the AQUAtap, and to
answer questions from Ministry officials. According to Joaquim,
"The viewing and demonstration was a success and ran smoothly
without any hitches, and response from attendees at the August 3rd
event was very good."
The first Quest Water AQUAtap™ installation in Bom Jesus has
been successfully operating since March 1, 2012 with the 500
residents of the village drawing approximately 10,000 litres of
pure water a day. The Secretary of State for Industry officially
inaugurated the AQUAtap™ on March 16, 2012, and the visit by the
Secretary of State of Energy and Water last week was a key step in
moving the project forward.
Quest Water also announces the launch of the Company's new and
improved corporate website (http://www.QuestWaterSolutions.com).
The new website features a new design and improved navigation,
including a new feature that allows visitors quickly and easily to
opt-in to receive timely information and updates from the Company,
as well as quick links to the social media pages. Visitors to the
website can also access new animated videos showcasing Quest's
innovative water technology products.

About AQUAtap™
Utilizing patented, solar-powered, water purification
technology, Quest Water has developed a highly efficient,
self-contained, community-operated water distribution system,
designed to provide a sustainable solution to communities who lack
the resources and infrastructure to access a clean, reliable water
source. Quest Water's compact, transportable water purifier, the
AQUAtap, is a powerful water filtration system that can take a
typically unsafe water source, like polluted wells, rivers, lakes,
and boreholes, as well as saline, and brackish sources, and create
100% purified, natural drinking water for entire communities, with
an average output of over 20,000 liters a day. The patented AQUAtap
technology is also beneficial to the environment, using no harmful
chemicals throughout the entire process as well as producing zero
carbon emissions. The AQUAtap was designed exclusively at the
request of the Angolan government, with ease of transport,
installation, and operation in mind.
About Angola's "Water for All" Program
