Las Vegas team develops tech to harvest water from desert air


It might sound like science fiction, but in the desert valley, where water is as precious as gold, a team of researchers at WAVR is working to turn the air we breathe into the water we drink.

Sloan said the company also plans to develop uses for the tech to produce drinking water within the next decade, and that the assembly line will remain in Las Vegas.
