Another source of drinking water

The Design blog rights about another interesting solution to get drinking water. It is not as extreme as the previous one (mentioned here).

This device is extracting water from the air. Cool, right? Except, my concern is that it will not solve the problem of water scarcity. The water flow in the environemt is fixed. However it could make water more accesible in some areas.

The future source of drinking water

As you probably all know water is a rare commodity. Today, nearly one person in five has no access to potable water. And in the near future the percentage might be even higher. Water could become a luxury product one day.

The device designed by Leonardo Manevalla can provide an interesting solution to this problem.

If I am not mistaken the astronauts in space us the same method. We can too, right? The only concern I have is the psychological side. How to go about drinking your own urine?


agua h2o
Scarcity of drinking water is one of the major quandaries of human life that has caused alarms all across the world. However, addressing the issue, Argentine designer Leonardo Manavella has come up with an innovative device concept that will solve the drinking water problem, to some extent, in the drought-affected or unclean-water areas. Hailed as “Agua H2O,” the emergency device that (I’m sure, you won’t believe) converts urine, human or animal, into drinkable water. All the users have to do is pee on the ‘Activated Carbon’ in the device, where urine loses its color and flavor, and remove the container for fresh and clean water. Simply amazing!
