Rain Capture Interactive Maps for Dam Placement

The index page for the list of currently available maps is http://AirSolarWater.com/dem Dryland rain capture proven by the Ancient Aztec The Aztecs were able to survive and thrive in a very dry area by harvesting the seasonal rains. They built low walls to capture runoff and silt. Over time the reservoirs captured water…

Modeling Water flow using DEM (Digital Elevation Models)

Water flow Analysis showing where micro Check dams can be located Grey areas show where water can be captured using micro-check dams so every major storm will refill the reservoir. Dark lines represent large water flow areas were larger professionally engineered dams are needed and are likely riparian zones. White areas are those where this…

Improve Economic Prospects for Poor Rural Farmers

Small village farmers on Mauritius and Rodrigues Islands have been forced by water scarcity to reduce the amount of land they can cultivate by 2/3 In some instances they have been forced to purchase expensive water from retailers bringing it around on carts. This has reduced their farm income and pushes them closer to poverty….

Micro-Capture to increase food production in dryland areas

This article discusses a low cost way to increase the food production on desert and degraded lands while reducing the impact of droughts. This is accomplished without increasing demand for ground water and can even help recharge the local aquifer. This is accomplished by maximizing water retention on the land where rain water falls so…

Reduce soil erosion & rivers lost to deforestation

This article discusses using micro-capture to mitigate damaged and water scarcity suffering caused by deforestation. Deforestation can be the root cause behind many water scarcity situations. The solution is applicable in larger context where micro-weirs can be used to provide a reliable water source for people suffering from water scarcity even in areas with…

Farmer Suicide driven by accumulated debt from failed crops, drought and desertification

43.7 billion RS liability from farmer suicides in India can be prevented. Farmer suicides in India are well publicized but we have seen similar conditions all over the world including the Nagev desert and Africa. The underlying debt problem is often aggravated by a combination of soil degradation, drought, water scarcity, mono-crops and expensive GMO seeds….

Groundwater recharge using monsoon water redirection

I discovered “Innovations in Groundwater recharge” in a linked in thread “How to collect flood waters, to be used at a later date” . I found the approach compelling and wanted to share it here. During their tests it delivered substantial recharge of ground water levels that had been dropping during the prior decade. The locations…

Support Desert Wildlife and Bio-Diversity During Drought

Artificial Water sources can help desert wildlife survive during drought Water scarcity can make it difficult for animals to survive during hot summer months. Life becomes even more difficult during extended droughts due reduced food supply combined with dried out water holes. Climate change is causing more severe droughts that last longer and occur…

Wildlife Philanthropy | charity funding Wildlife, Ecology and Animals

On our how you can help page we mention that helping us gain visibility with philanthropic organizations. This is perhaps the most important task we can complete for delivering the technology to those who really need it. One of the the uses for Air Solar Water is to provide wildlife watering stations in locations where species…

Update solar water maker pleasant beach test system 6-26 | solar water maker

In the article Pleasant Beach Solar water generator produced 1.7 times Goal for Summer June-3-2016 I mentioned that we were going to add some additional power and see how it affected production. At the time we were hoping for an increase of 20% compared to baseline power. Unfortunately as soon as I added the…

Commodity Agricultural use not generally viable

Commodity Agricultural use not generally viable Most farmers in the USA are paying less than $200 per acre foot and even in California the quoted cost viability limit seems to be around $800 per acre foot when growing premium crops such as citrus and almonds. The lowest we think A2WH can ever reach without fundamental…

Increase USA Drought Resilience using Air Solar Water Technology

Those of us living in the USA have for many years seen the re-occurring famine strike areas like Ethiopia where insufficient water has caused their crops to fail and natural vegetation to die off. Unfortunately it appears that the risk of this kind of disastrous event is spreading into new parts of the world including…
