By introducing certain new technologies, this shortfall can be reduced. The growing international water crisis has made governments rethink how to value, use and manage water. Recycling water from old conventional methods like waster-water treatment, brackish groundwater, seawater and extracted mine water may not save the Earth from the water shortage.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, research scientists at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fraunhofer.de\/EN\/index.jsp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fraunhofer<\/a> Institute for Interfacial Engineering and Biotechnology IGB in Stuttgart have come up with a new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedaily.com\/releases\/2009\/06\/090605091856.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">technology<\/a> to solve the water crisis problem by extracting water from air humidity.

If the air is not humid, the best part of this is that you can hook it up to your tap water source and get filtered drinking water.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"aquamaker am10\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greendiary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/aquamaker-am10_IOgrg_22978.jpg\" alt=\"aquamaker am10\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u2022 <strong>AquaMaker AM 10:<\/strong> It\u2019s a water generator that creates water from the air and purifies it to deliver fresh, clean water.
