Turning sunlight into water: New technology and old knowledge to stop Timor-Leste from running dry
The locals from Akrema village on the remote island of Atauro have never seen anything like it before - 40 hydropanels in rows, tilted towards the sky, performing a mysterious process to give them a commodity they so badly need: Clean water.

The technology - called SOURCE - by American company Zero Mass is designed to produce high-quality drinking water purely from sunlight and air. Without connecting to grid power, it uses solar energy to form condensation in the panels, which slowly collects and runs down a hose to the village below.
