Access to clean drinking water remains a surprisingly big problem even today. Today, you probably paid more for your bottle of water than you did for your gasoline (do the math)[1].
The part I like about this technology is that it uses moisture in the air and can be instaleled anywhere, with no further infrastructure needed (wells, etc).
Unfortunately, as others already pointed out in the comments at the main article is that RO - reverse osmosis applied to contaminated ground water is way more cost effective and accessible.
