These Atmospheric Water Generators are impressive but expensive, generally ranging from $1000-$1500 or more

Actually these devices are based on technology that was around for decades, they are simply a dehumidifier with an added water purification addon.

You can find dehumidfiers at much lower costs and then purify the collected water via other means.  Just google dehumidifier and you'll see how the technology works.

and save hundreds of dollars

You can also attach the dehumidifier to solar technology or generators so if there is an electrical shortage you can generate your own water.

Subhanallah: This is very interesting: & Yes it could be used in the Muslim Village [most likely for those in the West though] Its use in the village would offcourse depend on how tech-friendly your village would be.  Importantly you would require heaveirt initial funding for such projects to be installed.

In Pakistan i would opt for the village being close to a source of clean water if at all possible.  There are still some remote areas left in the North here where spring water is available. If not then the use of traditional wells would also be good.


[If anyone has ever come across a NatGeo documentray on the Alhambra's Architecture [Muslim Spain] you would be surprised not just by the architecture [we dont want palaces in our villages] but by the way the Muslims found and chanelled water ...upstream to the whole palace & surrounding areas !]

I had not heard of this before and found it intriguing:

Generate pure drinkable water from the humidity in the air - Atmospheric Water Generators

Ecoloblue

Planets Water

Wataire International 

"Now couple these atmospheric water generators with a renewable energy source such as a small wind turbine or a few small solar panels and you truly have a sustainable source of clean water." -article
