Teign Estuary Transition
Celebrating the local community – towards sustainable living
A good synopsis. Pity I missed the date. Seems to be pointing in direction of rainwater harvesting as a serious potential way forward. I recently saw an article about a device developed by a university in Chile (I think) which extracts pure water from the air – basically some sort of condensation and filtration device. It’s created as a “billboard” advertising free water and produces about 100l a day. Don’t know what the cost is but could be an interesting “first” for Teignmouth if we could test/promote its use
I think the issue might be is how it is powered – if it uses electric it would need a lot whereas if it relied on solar power, it would need to be somewhere sunny….like Chile. There is also the issue of particulate contamination which might be difficult to avoid. I would be interested in seeing a link to it…can’t be too difficult to build….
