ASU summit calls for innovations in atmospheric water harvesting technology
Experts in a wide array of science, engineering and related technological fields gathered to explore targeting the Earth’s atmosphere to meet the challenge of providing adequate water for the needs of the planet’s inhabitants into the future. Paul Westerhoff, an ASU Regents Professor in the School of Sustainable Engineering and the Built Environment, part of the Fulton Schools, and director of the Fulton Schools Global Center for Water Technology, moderated the Atmospheric Water Harvesting Summit. The idea has already attracted interest from industries, including from the semiconductor manufacturing, health care and home appliance sectors, as well as from the military and data centers, Westerhoff noted.
