Air-to-water water supply device introduced in Tomioka City
Tomioka City, Gunma Prefecture, has introduced an innovative water generator that generates water from air. This device has the capacity to generate up to 33 liters of water per day.
This water generator was developed by a private company and five units were installed in multiple locations, including the city hall. This device can generate drinking water from water vapor and humidity in the air. On average, it produces one liter of water per hour and produces up to 33 liters of water per day.
In addition, the device is equipped with special filter technology and can also turn river water into drinking water. The capacity of this filter can turn 600 liters of water per day into drinking water.
Through the trial operation of this water generator, Tomioka City aims to promote the use of reusable water bottles and raise awareness of environmental protection and disaster prevention.
After a year of operation, it plans to evaluate how much carbon dioxide can be reduced by using reusable water bottles. This water generator is also expected to be useful in times of disaster.
This innovative technology has attracted a lot of attention as a step towards a sustainable future. It is expected to be developed in the future as an environmentally friendly solution to ensure drinking water supply in the event of a disaster.
