Most Billboards are made to advertise, cars, stores, and
other retail products, but this all changed when a billboard in Lima, Peru was
made by UTEC that produces fresh potable water out of air. Lima is the capital of Peru and is the fifth
largest city in the Americas, and the largest city in Peru. Lima is part of a
costal dessert and is located in the northern edge of the Atacama, which
happens to be the driest desert in the world.
Lima only sees about 0.51 inches or rain per year, making it
very difficult for the people of Lima to have access to fresh, clean, water.
Most of the people from Lima use a well to access water, and about 1.2 million
residents lack running water. Since Peru is located along the southern Pacific
Ocean, the humidity averages to 83% and almost 100% in the mornings, thanks to
this the engineers of UTEC were able to create this billboard, which creates
100 liters of potable water per day.
This billboard has
definitely changed the lives of many of the residents of Peru, and is an amazing
project, which not only helps promote UTEC, but also helps out the residents of
Lima. I believe UTEC should build more of these billboards and locate them not
only around Lima, but also in other places that suffers from low humidity. With new creative projects like these our
whole world would change, thanks to technology.
This is inspirational, the transformation of an advertisement like a billboard with a practical utility for a community is impressive. Thank you for this article which once again demonstrates that everyday objects have the capacity to be improved.
