Water from air?! The US army first got it in war-time Iraq as Saddam’s forces poisoned wells on the retreat. It’s a system like any water dispenser. It’s dinky and takes little as space. “It’s a combination of a dryer, a pressure cooker and a chiller, all three mechanisms imbibed into one,’ says Dinesh, who designed it. In coastal towns like Chennai, Mumbai or Kochi, when humidity is over 80%, it offers 32 liters as it converts moisture into water. In dry cities like Bangalore, Ahmedabad or Hyderabad, it offers up to 22-24 liters for every 12 hours. It uses a mere 200 watts on a 5 amp socket, saves you 85% energy and at least Rs.250 a month. The catch is that it costs up to 50,000. But can money buy clean, pure, potable water drawn from the skies?
