This article in The Conversation gives a useful update about the water crises affecting people in the Caribbean Islands. The Water-from-Air Greenhouse Project was very active a bit over twenty years ago. The Viability Study reports produced for the Canadian International Development Agency were second-to-none. In my opinion they remain a valuable collection of knowledge about how to establish a commercial water-from-air irrigated greenhouse on a small tropical island. Sadly, the necessary level of interest and funding never materialized so not even a pilot installation was built. Inertia from so many angles stifles innovation! In the proverbial alternate universe there would now be several WaterProducer-Greenhouse™ installations to help alleviate the water crises discussed in the article.
