The Machine Creating Water out of Thin Air
A small Canadian firm, Element Four, in contact with United Nations developed the WaterMill, a novel electricity-powered machine that takes moisture from the air and purifies it into clean drinkable water, going on sale this Spring. It will be available to many third-world countries such as Zimbabwe, currently facing severe water scarcity for 1.8 billion people. As a result from poor sanitation and lack of clean, sufficient water, Zimbabwe is also experiencing a serious outbreak of cholera. The company is currently working on the WaterWall, several water-creating appliances and attaching them to a wall, allowing more regions to be supplied with drinkable water.
However, the machine only functions at 35% percent relative humidity levels, thus in very dry climates WaterAid is focusing more on harvesting rainwater and hand-dug wells to help communities in more than 17 countries reach water. This 10-person company has revolutionary technology that may greatly help serious global water-shortages.
