Watergen, the atmospheric drinking water devices (AWG), announced its partnership with Hockey India on Tuesday as a sustainability partner for providing fresh, high quality, mineralized, and safe drinking water created from ambient air at the two venues where matches will be played for free from January 13 to 29, 2023.
