Alternative and Sustainable Technologies for Freshwater Generation: From Fog Harvesting to Novel Membrane-Based Systems

Original language description

Water scarcity is an escalating global challenge, driven by climate change and population growth. With only 2.5% of Earth’s freshwater readily accessible, there is an urgent need to explore sustainable alternatives. Textile-based fog collectors are advanced tools which have shown great potential and have gained remarkable attention across the world. This review critically evaluates emerging technologies for freshwater generation, including desalination (thermal and reverse osmosis (RO)), fog and dew harvesting, atmospheric water extraction, greywater reuse, and solar desalination systems, e.g., WaterSeer and Desolenator. Key performance metrics, e.g., water yield, energy input, and water collection efficiency, are summarized. For instance, textile-based fog harvesting devices can yield up to 103 mL/min/m2, and modern desalination systems offer 40–60% water recovery. This work provides a comparative framework to guide future implementation of water-scarcity solutions, particularly in arid and semi-arid regions.
