WarkaWater, which is named after an Ethiopian fig tree, consists of a 30-foot bamboo frame containing a fog-harvesting nylon net that can catch water easily, can be easily lowered for repairs and allow communities to measure the water level.

　　Collecting water through condensation（水珠）is hardly a new technique, but the creators of WarkaWater say their tree-inspired design is more effective, maximizing the surface and perfecting every angle to produce up to 26 gallons of drinkable water a day—enough for a family of seven.

　　Western NGOs have been working to provide clean water access in Africa for decades, so WarkaWater joins a very long list of earlier attempts. So far, high-tech solutions, like the once promising Playpump, have failed, mostly due to high costs and maintenance issues.

　　This is where WarkaWater stands apart—a low tech solution that is easy to repair and far more affordable than digging wells in the rocky Ethiopian plateau.
