When Italian designer Arturo Vittori and Swiss architect Andreas Vogler
first visited Ethiopia in 2012, they were shocked to see women and
children forced to walk miles for water.
.
Only of Ethiopians have access to a reliable water supply. Some travel up
to six hours a day to fetch some or, worse, resorts to using stagnant
ponds contaminated by human waste, resulting in the spread of disease.
.
Worldwide, a whopping 768 million people - two and a half times the U.S.
population - don't have access to . So just imagine if we could just pull
water out of thin air?
.
That's what Vittori and Vogler asked once they saw the magnitude of
problem and vowed to take action. Their firm, , has since come up with
WarkaWater, a majestic palm-like structure that may look like something
you'd see in a modern art museum but it's been designed to harvest water
from the air.
.
WarkaWater, which is named after an Ethiopian fig tree, is composed of a
30-foot bamboo frame containing a fog-harvesting nylon net that can be
easily lowered for repairs and to allow communities to measure the water
level.
.
Collecting water through condensation is hardly a new technique, but the
creators of WarkaWater say their tree-inspired design is more effective,
maximizing surface and optimizing every angle to produce up to 26 gallons
of drinkable water a day - enough for a family of seven.
