Israel’s Watergen , a company which turns humidity in the air into drinking water, has entered into a strategic partnership agreement with the Emirati company Al-Dahra to bring Watergen’s new tech to the UAE and other countries in the region.
Have you ever seen all the water that drips out of an air conditioner. That’s from the water vapor which is taken out of the air as its cooled. Now think about collecting all of that water from the humidity to just water your plants or clean the floor. That’s Watergen, only it develops mobile devices for use outdoors.
Leave it up to Startup Nation to come up with new ways to solve the world’s water shortage crisis. Desert countries like Israel are always in need of new sources of fresh drinking water. While recent years of plentiful rain have seen the Sea of Galilee’s levels rise, there is still a likelihood of a return of many years of continuous drought.
