Climate Change | Air Solar Water & Rain Capture

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….

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…

Grow Dryland reverse desertfication, provide food, improve economics

Restore degraded and desertified land without Increasing Ground water demand Desertification is difficult but solvable Desertification is essentially degradation of soil so it can not longer support viable crops. This is often complicated by reduced amount of water caused by dropping aquifer’s, drought and altered rainfall patterns caused by climate change. It can be further…

Drought & Famine Mitigation in Arid Regions

AirSolarWater.com Jan 2006 – All Rights Reserved Around the world there is a lot of desert land that could be viable for agriculture but where there is inadequate water available to support the plant growth. We explore in this paper if it would be cost effective to reclaim some of this land using the Air…

Help Dry Cities Mitigate impact of Global Warming

Mitigate impact of Global Warming on Dry Cities A2WH solution harvests the water humidity in the air and converts that humidity into super clean liquid water. This can be done from personal sized units that yield a few gallons per day up through large scale infrastructure producing billions of gallons per year. All air even…

Mitigate risks for Cities in water stressed regions

Mitigate risks for Cities in water stressed regions Water risk for cities comes in two main forms The first is from inadequate water supplies to meet the demands from their citizens. The potable water version of A2WH can help with this problem but is normally applied after all other legal and ethical alternatives have been…

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…
