Water sourced from desert air – and it’s no mirage

The Sahara could become one enormous oasis as scientists work on a new device to gather water from desert air, reports The National.

More people will result in a greater need for food, meaning more water will be necessary for increased agriculture. This has led scientists at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), supported by Saudi Arabia’s Abdul Latif Jameel, to create a device that can extract water from the air. And the best part: the drier the climate, the better.
