Abstract
Water production in arid surroundings : alternative solutions coming from ecosystems study The scarcity of raw water natural resources for human consumption, global warming and the increasing human population lead to developing alternative solutions to exploit atmospheric water. The observing of ecosystems in arid environments makes it possible to submit various strategies for fog and dew use. Water nets and passive dew collectors are characterized by low production costs, but their productivity remains limited and depends on meteorological conditions. They must be regarded as helper solutions for the most vulnerable populations. Active atmospheric water condensing devices make great autonomous water production possible, if air hygrometry is sufficient. They are to be considered as a major perspective for water production in the future.
