"Solar umbrellas" could reduce the blight of evaporation ponds

Scientists at Berkeley Lab have developed a sort of “solar umbrella” which could radically reduce the amount of land needed for industrial evaporation ponds.

Using sunlight to pull clean water from dry air

Nearly two billion people lack access to clean drinking water. To address this problem, researchers from UC Berkeley and MIT have created a solar-powered device that can harvest water from air, even in places like the desert.
