Confronting the Water Crisis: Turning Air into Abundant Water
Episode description
By 2030, global water demand will outpace supply by 40%.
In this episode, we explore how Brian Sheng, CEO of Aquaria, is tackling the big questions such as “How to stop a water crisis”. He and his team are pioneering a scalable solution – harvesting water from the air itself to provide safe and abundant drinking water.
Driven by a personal story of loss linked to water pollution, Brian shares how Aquaria is building decentralized water infrastructure, creating resilient communities, and moving faster than traditional utilities to develop purified water.
Tune in as I uncover the technology, challenges, and vision behind a future where clean water is more than ample for all.
