The paper proposes an innovative improvement to the water collectors from atmospheric humidity condensation by introducing non-hydrophobic substances to speed up the water condensation and the dropping off process using simple technology, inexpensive and with high quality materials with the finality to favor sustainable irrigation in regions characterized by water resources scarcity favoring greening generally. The innovative collector’ design and experimentation conduced confirm the possibility to collect water from air humidity in different regions with reduced rain days as semi desertic zones enhancing the gain of desertification process, harvesting water in urban landscape, in vertical greening and roof gardens. The first principal innovative aspect of the novel design collector is the fast capacity of condensation caused from the method of design of the used materials and fast capacity of releasing water collected to contrast the undesired evaporations. The second innovative aspect is the reduced volume to permit a diffused and unexpensive implants which can be distribute suitably on the targeted landscape. Reduced costs and simplicity of fabrication announce real possibility of use in underdeveloped and poor countries to increase vegetation diffusion firstly and contributing on sustainable agriculture and architecture.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
