Aerial water extraction is a technology based on the condensation of moisture in the air to produce drinking water. Such an effect can now also be achieved mechanically using appropriate air systems. This method can be particularly useful in regions with low water availability or in emergency situations.

There are different approaches to obtaining water from the air:

• Condensation technologies:
  • These systems use the temperature differences between air and a cooling surface to condense water vapor. An example of this is a condensation dehumidifier, which is often used in households. Such devices draw air through a filter and cool it, causing moisture to condense and collect as water.
• Atmospheric water generators:
  • These devices use special surfaces that are optimized to absorb water vapor from the air. Once the water vapor has condensed, the water is captured and collected. Such generators can come in a variety of sizes from small household appliances to larger units for use in communities or emergency situations.

These technologies can be particularly useful in water-stressed regions or in emergency situations where access to clean drinking water is problematic. However, it is important to note that the effectiveness of these methods depends on various factors such as humidity, temperature and other environmental conditions.
