Collecting water from the air

With temperatures rising, attention was concentrated on collecting water from the air, as well as harvesting rain whenever it occurs.

"Is there some special property of warm air that lets it soak up more water vapour? Not really. It’s just that, at higher temperatures, water molecules are more likely to go into the vapour phase, so there will be more water vapour in the air."






Collecting dew at every opportunity became normal activity -get water from the air and store it below the evaporation level in the soil

Page 16 of that report is reproduced below. It is a photocopy, something of historical interest in the advanced digital age of 2030.
