SOUNDBITE (Spanish): CARLOS GARCIA, CEO of GENAQ STORYLINE: A Spanish company has developed a technology to generate drinking water from the air. The atmospheric water generators developed by GENAQ based in Cordoba province can obtain drinking water through the condensation of water vapor contained in the atmospheric air. It uses the thermodynamic cycle with mechanical refrigeration technology with advanced electronic control. The company says the generators generate water from 50 to 5,000 liters per day, depending on the model. SOUNDBITE (Spanish): CARLOS GARCIA, CEO of GENAQ "The cost of producing one liter of water is between one and seven cents, so we regard ourselves as an alternative to bottled water, which is much more expensive and comes with a series of logistical and environmental problems."
