Atmospheric Water Generation as a Viable Water Resource

Keywords:
water, generation, global, drought, resource

Abstract:
40 trillion gallons of constantly renewing and thus sustainable water sit virtually untouched in the atmosphere of the continental United States. The technology of atmospheric water generation is young and continuously being refined as one of the most viable resources and least environmentally impactive alternatives to groundwater sourcing, primarily for potable water. Why is more attention not being paid to this resource which, when combined with alternative energy sourcing is nearly 100% carbon impactive. This presentation explores and compares the sub-types of atmospheric generation and their application from individual to global use.
