INTRODUCTION | OUR STORY
During a trip to Ethiopia in February 2012, while visiting Recent studies show that only 34% of Ethiopia’s several prototypes on different scales to test various
rural isolated communities up on a high plateau in the population has access to an improved water supply. This aspects of the project.

INTRODUCTION | THE CONTEXT
The root cause of Ethiopia’s major health problems is

the spread of diseases perpetuated by the lack of clean
water and sanitation systems. Only 44% of the general
population has access to safe drinking water, and ‘In rural Ethiopia, women and
merely 34% in rural areas (WHO/UNICEF March 2012). children walk up to six hours
Water quality is severely poor and often contaminated

quality on the health of communities is shocking – unprotected ponds.’
approximately 54,000 children die each year directly
from diarrheal diseases and 217,000 more die from
related illnesses, such as malnutrition, pneumonia and
malaria (UNICEF February 2012).
To survive here, women and children walk everyday for
miles towards shallow and unprotected ponds, where
the water is often contaminated with human and animal
waste, parasites, and diseases.

dew), our ambition is to provide with an avarage of 100 L
(26.4 gal) of drinking water every
day and free up time for women and children to invest
in care, education and other socially productive activities.
WW should not be considered as the solution to all water
problems in developing countries but rather as a tool that
can provide clean water in selected areas, particularly in
mountainous regions where conventional pipelines will
never reach and where water is not available from wells.
These remote communities, often with limited financial
means, struggle to find reliable supplies of clean water for
the people, the animals and for agriculture.

INTRODUCTION | INSPIRATION
Warka Water is inspired by nature and lost ancient

traditions. Many plants and animals have developed
singular ‘skills’ to enable them to collect water from
the air and survive in the most hostile environments
on Earth. Some key examples include the Namib
beetle’s shell, lotus flower leaves, spider web and
the fog collection and water storage system in cactus.

INTRODUCTION | WARKA TREE
The name of the project ‘Warka’ comes from the Warka Tree,
which is a giant wild fig tree native to Ethiopia.
The tree is a symbol for the local communities: a village

without a Warka tree is not honorable. Hence, despite
deforestation that has become a major problem in
Ethiopia, the villagers protect and look after the Warka
tree; and the tree in turn serves the community that
takes care of it. Likewise, Warka Water wants to become
an important cornerstone for the local community. It
constitutes a very important part of the local culture
and ecosystem by providing its fruit and a gathering
place for the community.

INTRODUCTION | THE CLAIM
Air always contains a certain amount of water,

irrespective of local ambient temperatures and humidity
conditions. This makes it possible to produce water from
air almost anywhere in the world. Locations with high
rates of aerosol and humidity are best to install WW.

kg (176 pounds). The triangulated frame structure,

made with bamboo, is optimized for lightness and
strength and offers both stability and robustness. It is
also modular and foldable, making it easy to transport.
There are 8 fixation points placed radially around the
tower’s base where a network of ropes are attached and
fastened to create more stability and allow the tower
to withstand strong winds. Inside the bamboo structure
hangs plastic mesh that collects droplets of water from
high humidity in the air (fog) and the Collector for dew
and rainwater. A textile canopy all around creates a
shaded area for social and educational activities and
minimizes evaporation of collected water.

DESIGN | OBJECTIVES
Warka Water is designed to be owned and operated by

the villagers, a key factor that should help guarantee
the success of the project. It not only provides a
fundamental resource for life – water – but also creates
a social place for the community where people can
gather under the shade of its canopy for education
and public meetings. The goal of this project is also to
create a local economy based on the manufacturing of
the parts, assembly, monitoring responsibilities, water
management and maintenance.

MAKING | BASE
The circular Base is made out of local stones blocks. It
creates a levelled horizontal base and also a separation
between the dirt and the bamboo structure. Like this
we keep the bamboo more insulated against water and
humidity increasing the material lifespan.
A compass can be used to mark the correct diameter of
the Warka Base and to dig a 5 cm (2 inch) foot hole in
the ground. The ground should be leveled and the stones
applied. The stone blocks will be placed directly over the
ground dray without concrete. This will reduce the costs
and also the environmental impact of the Warka. Once
the tower will be dismounted, no traces of its previous
presence will be visible on the ground.

Fog harvesting isn’t a brand-new idea but go back to

thousands of years ago in arid regions.
During wet conditions, water droplets collect on the
mesh, flow downwards by gravity and drip into the
Collector. The water is then channeled to the storage
tank located at the center of the Warka Water base.
The systems also require no power to run. New filters
and net repairs are the basic maintenance requirements.

RESEARCH | PROJECT SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT ADD HYGIENE
Adopting the Warka Water for small rural community

can lead to numerous impactful initiatives:
Education:
Women and children can engage in productive activities
such as care, education and crafts that can lead to self-
sufficiency.
Economy:
Manufacturing the Warka tower locally and sourcing
indigenous materials can create jobs and boost the local
economy.
Society:
The Warka tower’s canopy creates a gathering place for
the community.
Food:
Water produced by the Warka tower can be used for
irrigation and farming.
Environment:
The water management training program can introduce
the principles of permaculture.
Power:
Lighting under the Warka Water canopy for children to
study and people to gather after the sunset.

RESEARCH | EDIBLE GARDEN
We are currently developing an updated version, Warka

Water 5.0, that includes a modular edible garden that
can serve the food needs of one to three families, using
only a part of the water collected. This experimental
garden has already been installed and tested in our lab
in Italy and will be integrated into the next Warka Water
version to be constructed.

RESEARCH | ENERGY
Bulk-heterojunction organic photovoltaic (BHJ-OPV)

technology promises high efficiency at ultralow cost and
weight, with potential for nontraditional applications
such as building-integrated photovoltaic (PV). There
is a widespread presumption that the complexity of
morphology makes carrier transport in OPV irreducibly
complicated and, possibly, beyond predictive modeling.
However, understanding the complex morphology is
important because it not only dictates cell efficiency but
also the panel performance and the operating lifetime.
In this paper, we derive the fundamental thermodynamic OPV PANNEL
as well as morphology-specific practical limits of BHJ-
OPV efficiency and lifetime. RECHARGE

We are exploring also the possibility of bringing lighting

under the Warka Water canopy for children to study and
people to gather after the sunset, for security and for
education. Using flexible and lightweight solar panels,
we can power small LED lights that will bring light to the
covered space around the Warka Water tower.

and deployment
Warka Water mainly uses local natural and biodegradable materials. It is

a flexible, portable and temporary structure designed to leave no trace
on the environment after removal. The Warka doesn’t extract water
from the ground, but collects it from the atmosphere.
In addition to drinking water, the water generated by the Warka tower
can be used for irrigation, reforestation, and ecosystem regeneration. As
part of training local villagers, we plan to initiate a water management
program that teaches the best practices of using, distributing, and
recycling harvested water. Through this program, we hope the villagers
can understand our relationship with the environment and move
away from the “slash-and-burn” agriculture, which is responsible for
deforestation. With the financial support needed to complete the design
development phase of the project, Warka Water will be ready for large-
scale distribution and deployment by 2019.

RESEARCH | LOCATIONS
HAITI NEPAL
Tests and research activities are conducted
in a rural location in central Italy, with
full-scale prototypes and materials. The
ongoing daily experiments have brought
new changes and updates to latest
version, Warka Water 3.2. We are selecting
potential sites in Ethiopia to launch the
first pilot. The most important criteria
for pilot are the lack of potable water
and the urgent needs of the community
for a solution. We will also assess other
important factors relating to the local
environment such as pressure, average
temperatures, humidity, dew point and
precipitation.
