Warka Water

Water is a vital commodity that human plants cannot survive without, hence the forgotten basic need. The fact that people need water does not mean they need to live in it. In fact, heavy rains cause floods that cause severe damage to property and death. With increased need for clean drinking water, the world has seen numerous innovations meant to improve the quality of water and availability. The Warka Water is a harvesting technique for those living in areas where water is a rare commodity.

Every geographical comes with varying climatic conditions that determine the rain patterns. Often, dry areas lack adequate natural water sources and receives little rainfall that is hardly enough for both plants and humans. Nevertheless, that does not mean the places are inhabitable. Warka Water is a tower-like structure that collects water through a series of natural processes such as condensation. Over time, the water drawn from the atmosphere is enough to serve the domestic needs of a family and perhaps a community.

By design, the tower allows water to condense immediately after evaporation. Condensed water drips down into the reservoir below that store the water for domestic consumption. The quantity of water harvested depends on the level of humidity, the rate of evaporation and the size of the tower. Unlike other harvesting methods, the technology collects water and purifies it for direct consumption. It saves you money that you could have used for water softening and filtering technology.

Amid rising concerns about pollution, the tower features sustainable construction materials that eliminate possible pollution on the environment as well as the stored water. The tower does not need electrical power to function and hence can be used everywhere. Warka water remains the ultimate solution for communities living in a hostile environment, with little access to clean water. A steady supply of clean water goes a long towards promoting healthy living.
