Water is among the top five global risks in terms of impacts translated through socio-economic and environmental challenges, influencing people's wellbeing. The situation grim water-scarce countries, which need to think act beyond conventional water resources tap unconventional supplies narrow gap between demand supply. Among resources, embedded fog increasingly seen as a source potable dry are...

In this paper, we introduce a microfluidic-based self-excited energy conversion system inspired by Kelvin's water dropper but driven by inertia instead of gravity. Two micro water jets are produced by forcing water through two micropores by overpressure. The jets break up into microdroplets which are inductively charged by electrostatic gates. The droplets land on metal targets which are gradua...

An increasing scarcity of water for crop farming and livestock watering among agropastoralists of Mieso in Eastern Ethiopia has largely disrupted their livelihoods. Indigenous water well maintenance and government initiated rainwater harvesting are two important collective actions common among these communities. With the aim of examining collective action institutions in both cases, we collecte...

Nowadays, the rapidly growing population, climate change, and environment pollution put heavy pressure on fresh water resources. The atmosphere is immense worldwide available source. Adsorptive Water Harvesting from Atmosphere (AWHA) method considered a promising alternative to desalination technologies for remote arid regions. development of novel adsorbents with advanced water-adsorption prop...

Solar steam generation from a porous evaporator is promising approach for harvesting fresh water. Parasitic heat loss can be reduced by using 3D that extends above the free surface; however, capillary rise constrains height of such structures to centimeter scale. Here, we demonstrate solar synthetic tree, which uses transpiration instead pump water up insulating tubes any desired height. A nano...

Although rainwater harvesting (RWH) is gaining popularity as a sustainable water supply source in urban as well as rural areas, estimating required storage remains an important design challenge. This paper develops a robust, yet computationally simple equation for calculating required storage capacity for a RWH system, which is generally applicable in the United States (U.S.). A simulation mode...
