The Water Catcher balls automatically return to the docking station where the [collected rain drops are purified](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/raindrop-1) and turned into [drinking water](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-kara-pure-2). The docking station has fingerprint-recognition that adds additives to water and makes it healthy for each individual dinker. **Implications** - Eco-conscious consumers are constantly on the lookout for innovative [green products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stonewell).
