This tower can make clean water from thin air and with its open source design anyone can build it in less than a week. Inspired from the workah tree in Ethiopia, the workah water tower is a 30 foot tall structure that is constructed from biodegradable materials such as bamboo and natural fibers and it is designed to provide clean drinking water to remote communities particularly in regions where traditional water infrastructure do not exist. The tower uses inner mesh layers to capture humidity from the atmosphere and when warm air passes through the cooler mesh, it turns into droplets which flow down into a collection tank where it is stored safely for all the daily needs. Depending on local climate conditions, each tower can produce up to 100 liters of drinkable water per day, which is enough to support an entire family's basic needs. By making the project's design open source, Wurka Water gives communities the freedom to create their own water harvesting system using any material that is locally available to them. The tower is easy to build in less than a week with local materials costing from $500 to $1,000 which makes it a budget-friendly solution for communities with limited resources.
