In an article published by The Guardian that brings to light microplastic contamination of the world's tap water and bottled water, it seems that finding alternative solutions is an imperative.
World Economic Forum published a list of the top 10 breakout technologies this year, naming atmospheric water collection as the second most significant advancement.
We are proud to be a part of the X Prize for Water Abundance and very excited about the international team we have assembled to tackle this most important issue.
We are excited to announce that we will be partnering with Sustainable Surf on their latest initiative, DIYH20, which is aimed at showing people how anyone can become water self-reliant by producing their own supply of water with atmospheric water collection. As a start, we will be installing a Skywater Atmospheric Water Generator at The Ecology Center in San Juan Capistrano.
Join us Friday, April 7th at the Ecology Center to get a sip of fresh water made from air, and enjoy the launch of DIYH20 and view a screening of Cyrus Sutton's new film 'Island Earth'
