Czech tech tackles water scarcity

The Czech Republic's pavilion at Expo 2020 will showcase a SAWER system that can extract water from air. At the Czech Republic's pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai, a potential alternative to desalination will be highlighted: using dehumidification technology to extract water from air.. Within the water-extraction component of the SAWER system, a series of steps create hyper-humid air that is then cooled to produce clean, condensed water.. Because heated air can bind with more water vapour, the "manually humidified" air reaching the system's cooler contains more water and can be condensed to produce usable water.. The SAWER system currently produces about 20 litres of distilled water a day.. Centred on the SAWER system, under the theme 'Czech Spring', the Czech Republic's pavilion will be located in the expo's Sustainability district.. Some of the capillaries will carry water from the SAWER system to create a fountain in the centre of the pavilion..
