Five examples of Water Collected from Air

Air to Water Five Examples



Water from Air is a new concept for the conservation of water by adopting a source that is uncommon and renewable. The most abundant source of freshwater is the Earth’s atmosphere. When atmospheric humidity condenses, it falls as rain. This natural process of condensation is replicated by adopting different technologies, which allows it to make water continuously, even in low humidity conditions.

Here are the examples :



1)Airowater Dewpoint Smart


"The Airowater Dewpoint Smart is one of the smaller units designed to ensure portability. This unit can make up to 20 litres per day in relative humidity and is also equipped to use city water as the input source to deal with a sudden increase in demand!"



2)Rainmaker


"Rainmaker’s Air-to-Water units produce drinking water from the air – no other water source is required. " It uses a turbine that forces air through a heat exchanger, where the air is cooled and condensation takes place. A hybrid solution (solar/wind/grid) is deployed for forcing the air into the heat exchanger. The temperature of the air is lowered in the exchanger to produce water drops which are collected in a container. Rainmaker Air-to-Water application, can "harvest water by combining atmospheric humidity, heat, and air flow producing 5,000, 10,000 or 20,000 liters per unit, per day."





3)Akvo AWGs


"The most abundant source of fresh water is the Earth’s atmosphere. When atmospheric humidity condenses, it falls as rain. Akvo® replicates this natural process of condensation by simulating the dew point, which allows it to make water continuously, even in low humidity conditions. Our unique technology uses optimized dehumidification techniques to extract and condense moisture in the air to produce healthy purified drinking water."




4) Watergen 

"Watergen is the pioneering Israeli company that has become the global leader in the atmospheric drinking water devices (AWG) market, machines that create drinking water from the air. The company’s solutions are the most effective and economical way to solve the pressing issue of drinking water scarcity in any location and at any time, and also enable the elimination of carbon-intensive supply chains and environmentally-harmful plastic waste.

Watergen’s products produce up to 5 liters of fresh drinking water by water extraction using 1 KWH. The company’s technology also facilitates significant water production in climates with humidity as low as 20%."




5)Watermaker 


"Atmospheric Water Generators (AWGs) in India, could provide clean and healthy drinking water amounting from 120 liters to 5000 litres per day. We also export these WaterMakers (AWGs) to many other countries,” says Meher."

Most of the air to water systems that are available in the market use the condensation of air phenomena. The atmospheric air is passed through freezing surfaces such that air moisture will be condensed and collected as water drops, in a collector. 

The air to water system is used for water production in water-scarce areas of the World. Around 1liter or more water can be prepared within 2 hours depending on the amount of moisture available for use. 

However, the major drawbacks of the systems are the "low rate of production","the manufacturing cost of the system", energy requirement, and installation complexities. That is why, both the duration required to produce water from the moisture and also the cost of production, deter customers from wide-scale utilization of the systems. 

So further research may be conducted in this aspect.

Five open source free hydrologic models that you can use to model runoff of micro to macro watersheds

The principal objective of hydrologic models is to forecast the runoff of a surface water body, especially dendritic systems like rivers, streams, etc. The inputs to these models are generally Rainfall/Precipitation, Soil Characteristics, and other Climatic parameters like evapotranspiration, humidity, etc. LULC and geo-morphology are also used as the required input parameters of the hydrologic models. Both input and output of these models are temporally as well as spatially variable. Now the resolution varies with different models. Some models consider all the sub-basins to be a single watershed and determine the output based on the characteristics of this single watershed(lumped).In contrast, some other models will consider the {impact|effect} of each of the sub-basins on the central outflow of the watershed(distributed).In a few models, the entire watershed is divided into grids or units of uniform dimension. However, the accuracy is highest for the models, which considers the {impa...

Five new patents that has the capbility to change the future of water resource development

A complex web of extreme events, such as devastating floods in some areas and severe water scarcity in others, are increasingly characterizing the global water crisis. This situation is made worse by the sneaky contamination of water sources with "forever chemicals" that do not decompose in the environment. A complex issue necessitating immediate action to guarantee access to clean, safe water for all populations is created by this pollution and the considerable water loss that occurs during delivery to customers as a result of aging infrastructure. Climate change is causing an increase in extreme events like floods and droughts, leading to unpredictable water availability. Water scarcity is also increasing, especially in areas with high population density and agricultural demands. Persistent organic pollutants like PFAS are contaminating water supplies, posing health risks due to their non-biodegradability. Inefficient infrastructure and leaky pipes contribute to significant...

How to separate baseflow from Total Storm Runoff ?

In hydrological studies, baseflow separation plays a crucial role in understanding the dynamics of water movement within a watershed. It allows researchers to identify the portion of streamflow that is sustained by groundwater discharge, which is important for assessing the availability and sustainability of water resources. Additionally, baseflow separation helps in determining the contribution of groundwater to streamflow during dry periods or droughts, providing valuable insights for water allocation and planning purposes.  Click here to access the tutorial : https://youtu.be/yvjm5YAc8H4 You may also like : HydroGeek: The newsletter for researchers of water resources https://hydrogeek.substack.com/ Baipatra VSC: Enroll for online courses for Free http://baipatra.ws Energy in Style: Participate in Online Internships for Free http://energyinstyle.website Innovate S: Online Shop for Water Researchers https://baipatra.stores.instamojo.com/ Call for Paper: International Journal of H...
