The ‘Savior Bud’ water collection device uses a tree’s natural recycling processes to obtain water for human consumption. Kim Hyo Jin and Seol Ah Sun presented their eco-friendly design at the Seoul Design competition and were awarded the Silver Haechi Prize. The portable water collection device can be attached to tree leaves, where it captures water and stores it in a container. It takes the Savior Bud about four hours to collect a cup of water.  In a simple process which basically involves collecting the moisture from the leaves and emptying it out into containers, the Savior Bud takes one more step toward acceptable living conditions in Africa.
As our intrepid designers note, Africa is plagued twice by their hydration situation. Twice because not only is their water supply low, but the water that’s available is often undrinkable and polluted.
