Watergen was founded in 2009 by entrepreneur and former military commander Arye Kohavi and a team of engineers with the goal of providing freely accessible water to troops around the world. [ 2 ] Following the acquisition of Watergen by billionaire Michael Mirilashvili , in 2016, the company turned its attention to addressing water scarcity and ...
State-of-the-art AWG for home use. An atmospheric water generator (AWG), is a device that extracts water from humid ambient air, producing potable water. Water vapor in the air can be extracted either by condensation - cooling the air below its dew point, exposing the air to desiccants, using membranes that only pass water vapor, collecting fog, [1] or pressurizing the air.
The idea was to provide independence for the troops on the field with a 120-pound system on the vehicle that extracts water from ambient air and is capable of creating 12.6 U.S. gal (48 L) in 24 hours at 75 °F (24 °C) and 55 percent humidity. In June 2009 Kohavi founded Water-Gen (Watergen) a company that designs solutions for supplying water.
Fog collection is the harvesting of water from fog using large pieces of vertical mesh netting to induce the fog-droplets to flow down towards a trough below. The setup is known as a fog fence, fog collector or fog net. Through condensation, atmospheric water vapour from the air condenses on cold surfaces into droplets of liquid water known as ...
An air well or aerial well is a structure or device that collects water by promoting the condensation of moisture from air. [1] Designs for air wells are many and varied, but the simplest designs are completely passive, require no external energy source and have few, if any, moving parts.
When completed, most drinking water supplied to Israel's residents from Hadera southwards – in other words, most of the country's population – would come from desalinated seawater. [19] By 2014, Israel's desalination programs provided roughly 35% of Israel's drinking water and it is expected to supply 40% by 2015 and 70% by 2050. [20]
Dew is water in the form of droplets that appears on thin, exposed objects in the morning or evening due to condensation. [1] As the exposed surface cools by radiating its heat, atmospheric moisture condenses at a rate greater than that at which it can evaporate , resulting in the formation of water droplets.
During the years 1930–1948 he was the most known water engineer in the Yishuv (Jewish community) of Palestine.He planned the first modern aqueduct in the Jordan Valley.He was the chief engineer and one of the founders (with Levi Eshkol and Pinchas Sapir) of Mekorot water company (established 1937, now Israel's national water company).
