Water-catcher: A 3d-printed building component to mitigate water stress in developing countries

Urban population growth predictions and the threats posed by climate change will exacerbate social problems such as equal access to water worldwide. This will happen mostly in developing countries and will couple with other environmental issues such as the intensive use of raw materials and the production of new waste. New solutions need to be...

Fog Water Collection Efficiency: The Influence of Collector Geometry

Fog harvesting is a sustainable drinking water solution for arid climates. Previous studies have developed an analytical model to predict the fog water collection efficiency as a product of aerodynamic and deposition efficiency as independent factors. In this study, we tested the assumption that deposition efficiency stays unchanged when the...
