Abstract

Abstract— In present generation more than half of the population in the world lives in towns and cities. Urban areas are expected to absorb the increase in population growth for the next three decades.By 2050 it is estimated that there is a vast increase in world's population (in billions),and the vast majority of this surplus will be living in slums with inadequate or non-existent water, health or sanitation systems. Today more than 156 million urban dwellers live without immediate access to water. The production of this amount of water in various locations within a slum has the capability to solve the water scarcity problems by producing clean, filtered, free, accessible water in order to eliminate health and sanitation issues. This project in this paper will address the use of this technology while at the same time using it to solve nutrition problems in the same slums by serving also as a water resource for urban farms which are designed to produce fruits, vegetables and mushrooms in the same structure that houses the atmospheric water generator. This water generator is produced within the slum, cutting transportation and packaging costs. The idea is to serve large numbers of people through a process of urban acupuncture producing services that require less maintenance and the possibility of creating local jobs and in helping and solving the water and food crisis in slums in the developing world.
