The WatAir, designed by Joseph Cory of Geotectura and Eyal Malka of Malka Architects from Haifa, Israel, collects moisture—dew—from the air, then filters and funnels it into a reservoir for drinking.

Distressed populations and regions suffering from natural disasters aren’t the only ones who can benefit from the WatAir [dew harvesting system](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3i-s10-ultra-robot-vacuum), but they are a likely match. Cory is working on an updated design that includes [photovoltaic cells](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/floating-solar-still) in order to facilitate the building of an emergency city. It is part of a joint venture with the Dutch company Creative Construction.
