Description: the tree-shaped ‘warka water’ tower is a system that collects drinking water from the air by condensation. based on traditional ethiopian craftsmanship and shelters, the triangular mesh structure is made of natural materials and can be built by locals. It consists of a bamboo framework with hanging fabric on the inside. The lightweight form weighs only 60 kg with five modules that are installed from the bottom to the top that can be lifted and assembled by four people without the need of scaffolding. ‘warka water’ can collect up to 100 liters of drinking water per day.
