PENNINGTON, N.J., Feb. 14, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- WorldWater & Power Corp. (OTC BB:WWAT.OB - News), developer and marketer of proprietary high-power solar systems, is exhibiting at the 39th Annual World Ag Expo in Tulare, California, through February 16.

www.primezone.com/newsroom/prs/?pkgid=2348WorldWater & Power designs and installs systems for irrigation, electric power, refrigeration and chilling, and other agricultural and agribusiness needs. Recent projects include:
-- the installation of a 267 kilowatt AquaMax(tm) system which drives
a 200 horsepower pump -- the largest solar-powered irrigation system
in the world -- at Seley Ranch, a premium grower of citrus fruit near
San Diego, California.
-- a grid-tied solar system at the Locke cotton ranch in the San
Joaquin Valley supplies power to drive a 50 HP irrigation pump and
a 10 HP well pump as well as electricity for the main residence
and farm shop. The 38 kilowatt array generates approximately
64,600 kilowatt hours of electricity per year, and keeps the
farm's irrigation system running during brownouts and blackouts.
-- a 350 hp compressor pump for a food processing refrigeration unit
in Edison, California reduces grid electricity use and increases
profits because it can operate economically by sunshine alone or
in automatic combination with the electric grid or with diesel
generators.
-- a system at Flatbrook Farm in Montague, New Jersey, uses sunshine
to provide light and power for the barn, residence and farm shop,
and saves money with "net metering" to spin the farm's electrical
meters backwards. Jersey Central Power and Light "banks"
Flatbrook's unused self-generated solar electricity for later use
by the farm as needed.

The World Ag Expo, originally called The Farm Show, was first held in 1968, at the County Fairgrounds in Tulare, California. It is now the world's largest agricultural exposition, with more than 1,500 exhibitors displaying the latest in farm equipment, chemicals, communications, and technology on 2.5 million square feet of exhibit space. Exhibit space for the show has been sold out since mid-December, which 2006 World Ag Expo chairman Erin Ferguson says is ``evidence of the importance of this show in the agricultural industry, world-wide.'' Last year's Expo set records for attendance as well as number of exhibitors, with more than 100,000 visitors from over 60
