Making Atmospheric Water Harvesting More Efficient Is Key In Arid Regions

Clean Water From Thin AirIn many regions of the world, fresh water comes at a premium. One option for access could be desalination, but this is so far a very energy-intensive approach, even if some progress in solar tech has made it closer to reality recently. Seawater desalination is also not an option for many inland arid regions, like for example central Asia, Mongolia, Chilean mountains, or most of the Sahara Desert.Another option is to capture the water present in the air. Many deserts actually have rather high atmospheric moisture, but for climatic reasons, they do not form rain and clouds. This is the promise of atmospheric water harvesting. We previously covered how passive cooling mixed with a silicon coating could boost the efficiency of gravity-based water harvesting .Researchers are now looking at further improving the method, notably by using new types of polymers
