The Last Word: UT Dallas’ Dr. Joshua Summers on Tech That Harvests Water From the Air
by Dallas Innovates | Staff Report | Oct 4, 2022
With mega-droughts drying up lakes out west and "water wars" predicted in the world's future, having reliable access to water is becoming more and more vital.
A team at UT Dallas led by Dr. Xianming “Simon” Dai is doing something about it. They're working on a tech platform that could enable anyone to have "an affordable, portable device that could access water anywhere, anytime conceivably using no external energy," according to the university.
