How to Create Water ? with the solar powered LEAF Self-Generating Water Resource

One example of future water creation technology could transform many lives in humid regions of the world.

Anurag Sarda's solar powered LEAF Self-Generating Water Resource won first prize at the international Time to Care Sustainable Design Award, organised by the makers of the adaptable knife, Victorinox Swiss Army.

Its is able to produce 20 litres of drinking water every day,

• the LEAF is an 18-foot tall water condensation unit.
• It is similar to a natural leaf, the unit transforms condensation into water, which is then purified via an attached sand filtration unit and finally collected in an earthen pot.

• LEAF utilises solar energy to generate electricity and cool its upper metallic surface, facilitating the formation of dew, which is then collected via the leaf-like shape of the structure. The unit does not need a lot of maintnance.
