It is remarkable that someone actually did it. There are actually small tribes and roving people that know about methods of extracting and collecting water in small quantities enough for survival. But in a country this size that relies on large central water supplies, most often controlled initially by the cities and local government on a city or regional level it is amazing. We as a people have not taken part in collecting our water other than home plumbing repairs and paying the water bill.

It is remarkable that someone actually did it. There are actually small tribes and roving people that know about methods of extracting and collecting water in small quantities enough for survival. But in a country this size that relies on large central water supplies, most often controlled initially by the cities and local government on a city or regional level it is amazing. We as a people have not taken part in collecting our water other than home plumbing repairs and paying the water bill.

There are so many countries, where the people are living in deplorable conditions due to lack of water or water that is contaminated. If more people with water procuring techniques stepped forward and published there are many people Millions of lives that can be affected. However unless this technology is affordable enough to be donated to many impoverished communities, it would only be sold to those of great means. If it is only bought and controlled by governing parties then there would be discrimination about who gets supplies. Is it cheaper than drilling a water well? There are many places where people have ground water but know nothing about digging wells. So the basic knowledge of getting water, down to something as simple as drilling a well has been known for thousands of years and still people thirst.
What would be remarkable, is if there was a coalition that collected all the information on how to get water and the cost and means for it, and matched sources of funding with people in impoverished locals with no water.

Even in Atlanta where there is water in the Air - Godfrey - The people are thirsty when the plumbing goes off. We have no alternative system in place. Something that could work on generators perhaps in a time of Crisis. There is still no water in my old neighborhood in New Orleans after a year. Technology has not been implemented to provide alternate resources even though humidity of 80-95% occurs every night between 2-6 am.
