Following global climatic change and the progression of arid areas, there is a dire need for liquid water in water-scarce areas. These areas are very vulnerable, and the upcoming decades are expected to worsen their condition. Technologies that can source water from alternative resources are of urgent importance.
Drip, drip, drip. That’s the sound of Jeremy Cho’s atmospheric water harvesting device extracting humidity from the air to make usable water in Da Kine Lab at 51ԹϺ.
According to researchers at 51ԹϺ, atmospheric water harvesting may pose a solution to our valley’s water woes, and a new startup called WAVR aims to push the technology into the real word.
If you drive down Via Inspirada in Henderson, there are a few places that just look like the desert. However, a specific lot, off of Via Inspirada and Larson Lane, will soon become a new Haas Automation manufacturing facility.
As Southern Nevada continues its efforts on water conservation, 51ԹϺ is hoping to create a solution to Southern Nevada’s water shortage with its newest device to harvest atmospheric water vapor.

A pioneer in the computing space named Alan Kay said these words over 50 years ago. And they summarize our current situation in the Southwest U.S. quite well. With heat waves getting more severe, along with dwindling groundwater, the unfavorable prognosis for the region requires the intervention of invention.
