When kids learn about the planet’s water cycle, they’re taught a simple concept: our atmosphere is filled with water vapour that has evaporated from the bodies of liquid water we see around us. Using a system that uses a set of plastic leaves to funnel air in various directions, the team has developed water generators that appear to create pure drinking water out of nothing. Water from air is for places that you don’t have any water to filter, Kohavi says.

Key Takeaways:

• It’s an immediate solution – governments don’t need to spend decades to make a big project
• Water-Gen is one of seven Israeli companies presenting technological innovations at the United Nations General Assembly this week.
• The company currently makes three sizes of water generating machines, each of which must be plugged into a power source.
