Southern Europe is gripped by drought that could last indefinitely, representing a collapse in the sources of water that we have relied on for drinking water, industrial and agricultural purposes. In this episode we discuss the potential for using atmospheric moisture harvesting as a source for agricultural irrigation. Aquaseek have already piloted their technology in the desert in the USA and with vineyard irrigation in southern Italy. How scaleable is this technology and can we really rely on it to avert a crisis that has brought down previous civilisations?
