WAVR Technologies, a startup born in the Nevada desert, claims to have cracked the code on turning air into water, securing $4 million in funding to commercialize technology that can harvest up to 10,000 gallons daily from the atmosphere, even with humidity as low as 10%.
The breakthrough comes as the Colorado River faces its worst drought in recorded history, according to the Las Vegas Valley Water District. Additionally, UNICEF reported that four billion people worldwide experience severe water scarcity for at least one month annually.
