One in 10 people worldwide lack regular access to safe drinking water. In an effort to tackle this most basic humanitarian problem, engineers around the globe have developed a wide array of devices, large and small, that generate clean water.
The Warka Water Tower
Based on fog harvesting concepts, the tower takes the form of an enormous cylinder constructed from bamboo and wrapped in recycled mesh.
It also provides shade for local residents to rest under while they funnel off condensed water from the tower's base.
Tiny UV water purifier
Researchers at Stanford University and SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory recently developed a UV water purifier housed in a tiny black rectangle that cuts the lengthy process down from 48 hours to around 20 minutes.
The Pipe is floating solar-powered desalination plant
The solar-powered plant relies on electromagnetic desalination methods to turn seawater into clean water, filters the salty byproduct through thermal baths, and then flushes it back into the Pacific Ocean.
The World's largest fog harvester
The world's largest fog harvester uses giant mesh fences to trap dense fog in the Moroccan desert and turn it into clean, fresh water. With a surface area over 600 square meters, the contraption takes advantage of the fog blanketing the drought-stricken Aït Baâmrane region for six months out of the year.
Carnegie Perth Wave Energy Project
The project generates renewable energy from the motion of the ocean while simultaneously desalinating seawater. A built-in desalination system uses some of the electricity produced to create clean drinking water, and the rest is fed back to shore and added to the grid.
You may point out that all the technologies mentioned above are far away from our daily life. Getting in touch with water closely, JOMOO has been committed to making domestic water cleaner and healthier.
JOMOO H2 Healthy Kitchen Faucet
Except for taking premium silicon brass, JOMOO has launched a creative healthy faucet structure model — H2 model separates the water from metal to reduce the lead content, upgrading the healthy level of the water you use!
Start your healthy life from a good faucet!
