Inspired by Nature and a “leaking” air conditioner, Eole Water’s wind turbine is able to harvest water from the air
While it may sound impossible, solutions actually by presently exist. Despite it not being noticeable to the naked eye, our planet’s atmosphere is packed with moisture. Even the Sahara desert boasts a relative humidity of 25% on average. Since this represents such a huge pool of resources, all it takes is the right technique to draw from it. Next all, nature itself does it on a daily basis – just look at a grassy field or a spider web on a cold morning. These droplets, called dew, form at the same time as water vapour condenses into droplets upon contact with cold surfaces.

Recycling rainwater or leaving unplayed areas untouched are examples of ways to save water and reduce golfs’ water footprint
While not the greenest sport on the planet, golf’s ecological footprint has for a few years been steadily declining, with some courses even going as far as adopting an all-out green approach.
A prime example of just how eco-friendly this sport can be is the Vittel Ermitage golf course, in the Western Vosges region of France. Thanks to Nestlé Waters’ French branch, Agrivair, ecosystem protection and enhancement were taken, inclunding zero-pesticide measures. The result? It is presently not rare to spot deer in the woody parts of the course, or for low-lying areas to be flooded during winter.
