UC Berkeley scientists have invented a device that can harvest water from a very unlikely ecosystem! Kim Horcher and Brett Erlich talk about how the invention works and how it can change water collection in the future. Let us know what you think about this method of collecting water in the comments below!

“Last October, a UC Berkeley team headed down to the Arizona desert, plopped their newest prototype water harvester into the backyard of a tract home and started sucking water out of the air without any power other than sunlight. The successful field test of their larger, next-generation harvester proved what the team had predicted earlier in 2017: that the water harvester can extract drinkable water every day/night cycle at very low humidity and at low cost, making it ideal for people living in arid, water-starved areas of the world.”
