Warka Water

A vertical structure designed to harvest potable water from the atmosphere by collecting rain, fog and dew. It relies only on gravity, condensation and evaporation and doesn’t require any electrical power.

At a time when a quarter of the world’s population lacks access to safe drinking water, Warka Water tower is designed to harvest drinkable water from the atmosphere.
