Concept for a sustainable water collection system using nylon condensation and underground storage in arid regions.
Concept for a sustainable water collection system using nylon condensation and underground storage in arid regions.
Challenge
Challenge
Accessing usable water is hindered by evaporation, groundwater depletion, and pollution in arid regions like Africa and Northwest China
Ideation
Ideation
Inspired by plants like Syntrichia caninervis, surface condensation near the ground was explored as a method to capture moisture from the air
Objectives
Objectives
Water collection is achieved through surface condensation and underground storage to prevent evaporation
