Portable fog-harvesting AQUAIR harvests clean drinking water from thin air
“Water scarcity doesn’t just affect those in arid climates—areas in humid tropics also lack access to freshwater sources. National Cheng Kung University (NCKU) students in Taiwan tackle these water issues with AQUAIR, a portable fog-harvesting device that pulls potable water out of the air. Designed for use in remote mountainous areas in tropical latitudes, AQUAIR can be easily assembled with the addition of locally sourced materials with future aims of open source production…”

Congratulations to the students. Great initiative. I hope to see kits available soon after February. This could work anywhere.
over 10 years ago..in Peruvian Aztec mountain regions..they developed water from fog air technique..that worked
Adapting the technique of many plants. ( Such as Pineapple)
we take tonnage of salt away from the sea..the Polar Regions need tonnage of salt..to maintain levels what gets taken out should be replaced..Malta 20 yrs ago did not have desalination plant but suffered problem of lack of fresh water
wonders of simplicity
where the Chinese have acres of solar power sited on lakes .. they do not engineer so can have twice the capacity .. sun and water .. simplistic
place the solar panel , on a water flow gravity or tidal
Finally someone who understands.
no modern house should have to pay excess on gas electric water or sewage..because all these services should be intergrated in homes modern homes unless house is in desert and has to pay for pipeline connection
last year Richard branson in Africa was into bottling filtered water..if lived in desert with no oasis then might search for survival bottle if no beer left
guess where filtered from
