Water Water Everywhere ? Even
in Latur ?
( aka “ How to avoid Water Wars next month ? “ )
And without sending from Mumbai to Latur
, a “ Water Train “ twice a day ?
Absolutely FREE ? ( free of cost
and free of Water-Mafia ! )
Without women of Latur , having to walk
5 km in 42* C temperature for one bucket ?
All of this is possible if Maharashtra Chief Minister
, Shri Devendra Fadnavisji , just picks
up phone and dials Prof Omar Yaghi ( University
of California , Berkeley / yaghi@berkeley.edu / oyaghi@lbl.gov / Ph : 510-643-5507 )
After reading the following report , if
he does not , it would deeply distress millions of drought-affected
Maharashtrians !
Dear Prof Yaghi :
CONGRATULATIONS
FOR YOUR INVENTION WHICH DESERVES BETTER THAN A NOBEL PRIZE !
A
BILLION “ THANK YOU “ FROM A BILLION PEOPLE !
Even if you do not get that phone call ,
in the “ Supreme Court of your Conscience “, treat this appeal as a “ Public
Interest Litigation “ and make available to the Citizens of India, your
technology / patent / manufacturing drawings / material specifications etc , in
order to save thousands of lives !
REPORT :
A
device that can create water out of thin air
in even arid environments has been invented that could make Coleridge’s famous
line “Water, water, everywhere, Nor any drop to drink” a thing of the
past.
Using
only the power of the sun and a special
material with some extraordinary properties, the device is capable of producing
2.8 litres of
water in 12 hours.
And
it can work in conditions where humidity is as low as 20 per cent.
Professor
Omar Yaghi, who helped create the
prototype water harvester, said: “We wanted to demonstrate that if you are cut
off somewhere in the desert, you could survive because of this device.
A
person needs about a [ 330ml ] can of water per day. That is something one
could collect in less than an hour with
this system.
This
is a major breakthrough in the long-standing challenge of harvesting water from
the air at low humidity.
“There
is no other way to do that right now, except by using extra energy. Your
electric dehumidifier at home ‘produces’ very expensive water.”
But,
as well as saving people stranded in a desert, the harvester could become a
major part of everyday life, enabling
people to have water without a connection to
the public supply or a well.
“One
vision for the future is to have water off-grid,
where you have a device at home running on ambient solar for delivering
water that satisfies the needs of a household,” said Professor Yaghi, a chemist
at University of California, Berkeley.
{
My Note : Just
like the Roof Top Solar Power panels which may, someday eliminate the need for
an Electric Power Grid ? }
“To
me, that will be made possible because of this experiment. I call it personalised water.”

Dear “ Bottled Water
Manufacturers “ of India :
It is time you asked ( ala Ted Levitt in his seminal
essay “ Marketing Myopia “ ) :
“ What business are we in ? Are we in the business of
“ Bottling Water “ or are we in the
business of “ WATER “ ?
Time to “ re-invent “ yourselves is just around the
corner !
With “ Edible
Water Balls “ replacing plastic bottles ?
Here is what start-up “ Skipping Rocks Labs “ { http://www.skippingrockslab.com/ }
writes on its web site :
Our goal :
To create a
waste-free alternative to plastic bottles / cups / plates / you name it
Our vision :
To become the leading global producer of
seaweed-based packaging
Our impact :
To stop 1
BILLION plastic bottles reaching the ocean every year and to stop 300
million Kg of CO2 from being emitted
