The First Billboard that Generates Water From Air!

Many of us are used to oversized billboards filling up our skies with advertisement campaigns. But, there is a new billboard in town that is changing the way we think about drinking water. In Lima, in the midst of the Peruvian desert, one has been made that does nothing less than create drinking water from thin air. There’s a dire lack of clean water in the region and rarely any rainfall. Atmospheric humidity, however, is at 98%.

The local University of Engineering and Technology (UTEC) teamed up with a creative agency to create this brilliant billboard – generators capture the air’s humidity and turn it into 100 litres of clean drinking water every day which is then stored in five easily accessible tanks that local residents can easily access. At the same time, it also advertises the kind of engineers UTEC wants to be recruiting.

9450 litres have been generated in 3 only months, think about the impact this can have spread across various regions of our world. Potable drinking water extracted from the air to hydrate communities…brilliant!
