In an era when humans are taking from the Earth much more than they're giving, it's important that developers continue to create sustainable solutions that the globe is facing or will face in the near future. The water crisis that is impacting the whole planet, caused primarily by climate change and overpopulation, calls for new ways to produce water even when traditional natural resources are scarce so that people don't die of dehydration.
It's projected that in 2040, 33 countries are expected to face extreme water stress, and many of these nations have huge expanses of arid land with no visible source of water. It's information like this that inspired Ap Verheggen, a designer from the Netherlands, to develop his latest idea for addressing the pressing problems surrounding water.
His initial design, an artistic statue called the SunGlacier, was erected with the technology to produce cool drinking water from condensation using solar power for a community. His new design, a handheld vessel called the WaterDrop, works similarly but is for personal use. Ap explained,
"If temperatures rise, the air contains more water. Normally, higher temperatures also mean more sunshine. So, why not focus on harvesting water out of the air, powered only by renewable solar energy? In this way drinking water and water for agriculture become available in most dry parts of the planet."
