Source Global, Local First Arizona ink deal to extract drinking water from air for rural communities

A company founded eight years ago by Cody Friesen, an associate professor in the School for Engineering of Matter, Transport and Energy, part of the Fulton Schools, continues to expand its work to help bring clean drinking water to underserved populations. Source Global will install 800 of its hydropanels, which use solar energy to extract water from moisture in the air, to provide safe water to more than 3,400 people in remote Arizona communities. Funded by a grant from the Arizona Drinking Water Program, the project will include water conservation education outreach and workforce development by giving residents opportunities to become certified Source hydropanel installers.
