    Remember: the drylands are not meant to be a desert. The drylands have turned to desert because people have destroyed the plants and soil structures that help retain water. Trees must be planted, swales must be dug, and the water can return to these areas.

    Living in an area around the Colorado River Saga, it is good to know that there can be affordable drinking water here. The river is so contaminated that growers of lettace and other agriculture struggle to keep water for the fields. Thanks for your well written article.

    Wonder if the technology can distill contaminated water from the tap - increase production SAFETY?

    • @melreslor2114
      @melreslor2114 Рік тому

      Solar distillers can purify water. Low-level technology but it does take maintenance. Household gray water, pool water, tap, even pond or seawater can be distilled. Quality is tops, but quantity is limited, only about 20 gallons per square foot of surface area per year - in a sunny area. A 10' x 10' tank will produce 2,000 gallons, only enough for one household's drinking and cooking water.

    Thank the EPA and the successful lobbying efforts to stop the ban or misuse of toxic chemicals and particularly the forever chemicals.

    Makes electricity, and collects water, refill and flush it out once a week, think of how insects respritory is different than humans.

    Does this produce sufficient water when the sun isn’t shining?

    • @melreslor2114
      @melreslor2114 Рік тому

      If it's like a solar water distiller, the production is much lower when it's overcast, and no production during the night.

    That seems very wasteful, to make water out of air. Why would you just not, set sail. And also, you dont get the flavorings also.

    The answer is no, this will not and does not scale up, it's not a viable solution, economically as well as physics. If water extraction technology could work at scale, it would already be being done.

    • @arevolvingdoor3836
      @arevolvingdoor3836 Рік тому +1

      For some people it is an economically viable solution, such as the last family who had to spend 30 minutes driving to get water. Just the fuel costs for that drive would be extremely high to where it made sense for them to buy these. I think the use case for these is limited to people in remote places.
