Water From the Desert Air Can be Prepared by Unique Equipment


Scientists in Boston have developed a device capable of extracting drinking water from desert air. This study also includes a scientist of Indian origin. There is some humidity in the most barren areas of the earth and due to the practical method of removing such moisture, the path of life can be a little easier in such areas.

Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) of America have now proved that such extraction systems can prove to be effective. Researchers said that this device was tested in the extremely dry air of Tempe and Arizona, which confirms the possibility of the new process possible. He said that water can also be extracted from the desert and extremely dry air with only 10% humidity through Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOF). The new system has been discussed in 'Nature Communications' Journal.
