Technological advances that are improving the effectiveness of atmospheric water harvesting systems are expected to help many of the more than two billion people in the world who lack access to clean water. The latest progress in this area is poised to improve on the technologies in use today that require a lot of energy use, can be costly and have limited geographic reach. Cody Friesen, an associate professor in the School for Engineering of Matter, Transport and Energy, part of the Fulton Schools, and an atmospheric water harvesting pioneer, says that with further refinements of advanced technologies for atmospheric water harvesting the costs for delivery of water could be significantly lowered.
