Thank you, that sheds some light onto it, yes. I'm still wondering how this number marches up. Just using the device by far uses not even comparable amount of energy than e.g. the production and then it also depends if you use green energy or a diesel generator in your backyard.

Not sure how to read this.

Anyone knows how the usage is being estimated? What is the expected lifespan and how does one come up with a carbon budget there?

Researchers of the MIT developed a new solar powered passive water desalination system. They claim the system is low in maintenance and could produce water thst is cheaper than tap water.

This could be big for certain desert states and communities, who struggle with access to fresh water.

Right now I'm working on reducing our individual plastic waste. I noticed that we've gotten careless and we produce a huge amount of preventable plastic trash, so that's for the next month the goal.

Quick question: How much water does this provide? Can you fully water your garden with this? And also: Is a good rain day able to fully refill it?

Trying to get some realistic estimates about what to expect from rain collection, and I find this idea pretty cool!
