Harvesting water from the air?
We build small scale models of the Warka tower. Warka tower’s triangulated split bamboo frame holds a mesh, which during wet conditions collects water droplets. Droplets flow downward by gravity and drip into a collector, which is channeled into a storage tank located at the center of the tower’s base. There is also a canopy installed on the tower, which not only provides water, as the resource for life, but also serves as a social place for villagers, who owns and operates the tower. Members of the local community can meet and have public discussions under the shade of the canopy. Let’s try to explore all these connections with the help of the STIMEY Digital Learning Environment and by designing and building a small scale model of the tower. (Event language: English)
