1. Interesting, but...

I would prefer more information and less "happy muzak" in the video. What are the economics of the project? What kind of maintenance is required? I can't imagine a place where the indigenes would have to come to a specially built fresh water source next door to the palatial hotel depicted in the video. Do developers really build resort hotels where there is no evident infrastructure? Doesn't precipitable water depend on the relative humidity of the climate in which the condensor is installed? (Desert is shown in the video; Phoenix averages somewhere around 12% RH; not much there to be condensed.)
