Researchers produce clean drinking water from air in polluted cities
In a first-of-its-kind study conducted at Tel Aviv University, researchers found that water generated from the air in the heart of a city.

Harvesting water from the air, 24 hours a day, with no energy input
Fresh water is scarce in many parts of the world and must be obtained at great expense. Communities near the ocean can desalinate sea water.

Quenching the world's thirst with off-grid water desalination
Desalination is the answer to long-term water security, but it's also expensive and energy-intensive. Scientists are developing options.

Could the water in bedrock save our forest ecosystems from climate change?
You can’t squeeze water from a rock. But tree roots can —and they’re doing it more frequently than scientists previously thought.
