HAHenry ApseySwansea UniversityDHDonald HillSwansea UniversitySAShirin AlexanderSwansea University

Key Points

  • The study aims to explore how biomimetic engineering can enhance water harvesting methods in arid climates.
  • Developed 3D printed structures mimicking natural systems
  • Assessed performance in collecting water in arid environments
  • Compared efficiency to traditional water harvesting techniques
  • 3D printed structures significantly improved water collection rates
  • Innovative designs mimic natural forms, optimizing moisture capture
  • Potential to aid billions in arid regions facing water scarcity

Abstract

Approximately 33% of the Earth's surface has an arid climate, affecting around 2.4 billion people (as of 2020) who face challenges accessing water for agriculture, hygiene, and sanitation. Over millions...
