Very stimulating to hear so many people have heard of this ancient technology still being used by 3rd world countries. Currently one method that is making its way into Green construction is geothermal heat exchange units Hot moist air is pulled down a couple hundred feet to the cooling chamber. water is deposited in a tank with a small shallow well pump to bring it up to an elevated tank for residential use.
My favorite method for extreme survival skills was from the 1963 ? Jimmy Stewart movie, "Flight of the Phoenix". 4 stakes, 20 x 20 shrink wrap, and one small stone in the center. (They were in the Sahara desert plane crashed) morning due and hottest part of the day small amount of moisture rose up, is collected on the plastic wrap, condenses, goes to the central point of the stone, canteen was used as a collector. They survived for weeks. I tried it. It works.

Dear Guy,
I like your story. It is our duty to track economically efficient technologies for water harvesting, especially in our times where water resources are getting less.

Hi Nikos; I am pleased you enjoyed my story. I can appreciate the research you have done in many areas. I have been doing research since 1994. My mentor Dr Carl Oppenheimer had discovered a new species of microbe in the 1940's. He called them Archaea. You have similar background experience. Dr O had many PhD's. His main one was marine biology, microbiology, chemistry, archeology and a few more. He passed away in 2007. Now I am continuing his work and have prepared to clean up after the upcoming event. The cutting edge is called Bioremediation. There is nothing it can not clean. I very much like your comment on responsibility and low cost. That is my specialty. I design systems and build a sustainable feature that empowers people to never needing to seek UN advice or financing. I have sent you a contact request. Difficult to find persons with multiple similar interests. I currently have no peers in my field. That's OK. they didn't like Dr O either. He was always right. looking forward to speaking with you. In case : skype is guy_mcgowen. Best regards. guy
