With freshwater becoming more and more limited, our planet turns its sights to decentralized water solutions. Brian Sheng, Co-Founder and CEO of Aquaria, has developed a technology to capture the vapor in the air and turn it into liquid water. Joining Corinna Bellizzi, he shares how their Atmospheric Water Generator (AWG) does its wonders to make clean water more accessible to all, from disaster relief efforts to residential homes. Brian also discusses the proper way to install, maintain, and power an AWG to maximize its output and potential.
