How to Harvest Water from Air
Summary
With global warming exacerbating water issues, innovative solutions are emerging. Beyond desalination, extracting water from the air is gaining attention. This trend is set to grow significantly.
---
Global warming is creating water shortages through droughts and the melting of glaciers. Floods also lead to contaminated water sources, as seen with Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans. These water challenges might even lead to conflicts over resources.
There is an urgent need for clean drinking water. Several methods are being explored to capture humidity from the air. While addressing climate change through reducing emissions and practicing the three Rs?"reduce, reuse, recycle?"is crucial, technology also offers promising solutions.
Water Extraction Methods
1. Desalination through Distillation
2. Condensation
3. Water Absorption by Salt
Desalination is widely used, but water extraction from air is an emerging trend.
Condensation Technology
Dr. Max Whisson, nicknamed the "Water and Wind Wizard of Oz," has patented the "Whisson Windmill" or "Water Harvester." Inspired by an African beetle that collects water from the air, Dr. Whisson developed a system to replicate this process.
According to Dr. Whisson, "The amount of water in the air is practically unlimited. The lower 1 kilometer of the atmosphere holds about 1 trillion liters of water, refreshed every few hours. The Whisson Windmill can provide adequate water anywhere, anytime."
The Whisson Windmill is essentially a wind turbine attached to a refrigeration compressor. Using wind energy, it cools the turbine blades, condensing water from the air, which is then collected. This invention is being refined at the University of Western Australia.
Air Water Pty Ltd offers a similar technique, with machines capable of producing 28 to 5000 liters (7 to 1321 gallons) per day through condensation.
Water Absorption by Salt
This approach uses a lithium chloride salt solution to draw water from the air. The water is filtered using table salt, which disinfects it, and then passed through a carbon filter to enhance taste. These units can produce up to 1200 gallons of drinking water per day and are used by the US FESA for emergency relief.
The Future of Water from Air
While these innovations promise cleaner water, they are not the sole answer to a sustainable future. We can't rely solely on technology to refreeze glaciers, restore rivers, or stop ocean rise due to global warming. Achieving sustainability requires a commitment to caring for our planet and each other.
