[ 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.
Researchers have invented a solar-powered device capable of extracting several litres of water from thin air in a single day. The new self-sustaining technology could provide a lifeline for people ...

Singapore desalinizes water for 49 cents per cubic meter [179] and also treats sewage with reverse osmosis for industrial and potable use . China and India, the world's two most populous countries, are turning to desalination to provide a small part of their water needs [180] [181] In 2007 Pakistan announced plans to use desalination [182]
Israel pumps its water primarily from three sources, Lake Kinneret (Sea of Galilee), and the coastal and mountain aquifers. [1] As of 2004, these three sources provided approximately 73% of Israel's drinking water. [7] Israel utilizes almost all of its naturally replenishing water sources for municipal, agricultural and industrial purposes.
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]
