Balancing water quantity, quality and energy requirements

Original Authors: Carl Abadam, Anjali Mulchandani Original paper is accessible at: https://doi.org/10.1021/acsestengg.6c00532 A new question for atmospheric water harvesting Atmospheric water harvesting (AWH) is often presented as a promising route for producing water from an abundant atmospheric reservoir. The atmosphere contains approximately 12,900 km³ of water, about six times the volume of freshwater stored in rivers and freshwater lakes. This makes AWH attractive as a d

This review shifts the conversation toward a different and increasingly important application: ultrapure wat

Another important pathway is passive atmospheric water collection, where water is collected directly from fog droplets or from dew formation on cooled surfaces. In these systems, the su
