Dear MEL Topic Readers,

We can drink from enormous lakes in the air

Clean drinkable water is a scarce resource for the growing population on our planet. There are hundreds of millions of people who have no access to clean water on a regular basis. Those who can afford to drink bottled water while the poor rely on whatever they can drink, which could be contaminated or unpurified. As a result, many are losing their lives or health because of cholera and diarrhea especially in South Asia and Africa where the populations are expected to increase despite the water shortage.

However, there is plenty of clean water available for most of the places on earth. Air. Water can be taken from the air by adapting dehumidifier technologies. Such devices, materials or structures are called water from the air, or WFA. Though there are some pros and cons of each technology, more innovative, efficient, and practical technologies are on the rise.

Enjoy reading and learn a few ways to get water from the air.
