Atlanta GA Needs UTEC PERU Technology Drinking Water from a BILLBOARD

 

Atlanta GA and Water from a BILLBOARD

UTEC/PERU Technology offers Fresh Drinking Water from the Air


Seeing is believing. Well, even after seeing this new technology,

there is nothing to say but, “Where there is a will - there is a way.”


Engineering students at UTEC provided a design for extracting water from the air in Lima, Peru. They designed a multiple filtration system that produces pure drinking WATER FROM A BILLBOARD. In the developing world, the need for water is constant. To live, to thrive and to become self-sustaining - pure water is essential.

Yet the same could be said here in Atlanta, GA when we would enjoy WATER FROM A BILLBOARD during our long hot summer days. Often over 100 degrees and almost as humid, the summer may drag on without much rain. The City of Atlanta institutes water-rationing when the reservoirs get low.

Maybe we could use WATER FROM A BILLBOARD for our homes and gardens in Atlanta GA too? No more alternate day watering in that case!
Have a happy day -
Lynn



PS  Even the campus is a glimpse into the future. Resulting from a design competition in 2011, a stunning building now houses UTEC students as they advance in their careers.

UTEC > Ingenuity in Action

"UTEC is an engineering college [that offers] training based on experience, allowing youth to channel and to enhance their ingenuity [and] to develop practical solutions that improve the environment in which we live."

Hi Lynn,

It sounds like UTEC is a great school for students wanting to go into engineering.   That would be wonderful if the humidity could be pulled out of the air and turned into drinkable water.   

Very interesting concept.  Have a great week.

Lynn,

We wrote a post about this a couple of years ago.  There is a business in San Luis Obispo that has been producing these machines that extract water from the air...the chamber in Santa Barbara uses it and it tastes great, it is so amazing how much water is produced. A

Rebecca -

Thanks for stopping by! And for the suggestion!
It is amazing isn't it? The tour group INTERNATIONAL EXPEDITIONS out of Alabama has been going to Peru for over 30 years with groups. Part of the trip fees go for water purification equipment in the villages along the Amazon waterways.  It seems this might work there as well - as long as it was up high enough to avoid the reainy season flooding!

Have a happy day -
