Recently the Water Abundance XPrize competition sought out to find the best scientists and designers to fund their ideas on how to pull fresh water out of the air
The winner was David Hertz and his colleague Rich Groden with their innovative ‘WeDew’ generator that can turn atmospheric water into liquid
‘WeDew’ can cool warm air and store the resulting condensation in the tank, essentially creating a little ‘rainstorm’ inside the container
Since ‘WeDew’ uses shipping containers to create the water, it is not only innovative but cheap as well
Their project won since, according to the press release, “It demonstrated the greatest ability to create decentralized access to water”
Now, this incredible system is already accessible in Venice Beach where locals can take the water for free
This system can provide up to 528 gallons of clean water a day and it costs no more than 2 cents a quart
Although the team can finally celebrate their victorious creation, the road to winning these 1.5$ million dollars was not easy
David Hertz and his wife Laura Doss-Hertz even mortgaged their Malibu home to stay in the competition
