UTEC, the University of Engineering and Technology was about to open the application period for 2013, so they needed to call students' attention.
Lima and its surrounding villages are located in the coastal desert of Peru. In this place, there were many people suffering from the lack of potable water.

Here in the Bujama District, most of us draw water from the well. It's not nice and it's polluted.
在Bujama區(qū)這里,我們大部分從井取水。這不好,而且是被污染的。

The presence of rain in this region is almost zero, but the atmospheric humidity is about 98%. Inspired by this, we worked as a team, UTEC and the agency, to build the first billboard that produces drinking water out of air. The billboard has unique technology that captures the air humidity and turns it into drinking water.
雨在這個(gè)區(qū)域的出現(xiàn)機(jī)會(huì)幾乎是零,但空氣濕度是大約98%。受到這啟發(fā),我們以團(tuán)隊(duì)合作,UTEC以及代辦處,來(lái)建造第一座能從空氣中製造飲用水的廣告牌。這個(gè)廣告牌有能捕捉空氣濕度并使其變成飲用水的特殊技術(shù)。
Each generator captures the air humidity. From there it goes to a reverse osmosis system.Each tank stores about 20 liters. These five generators purify water, and its total is gathered in one tank.
每臺(tái)發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)捕捉空氣濕度。從那里它進(jìn)入一個(gè)逆滲透系統(tǒng)。每個(gè)水箱儲(chǔ)存大約二十公升。這五臺(tái)發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)凈化水,其全部的水都集中在一個(gè)儲(chǔ)水池中。
The billboard has already produced thousands of liters of drinking water. That equals the water consumption of hundreds of families per month.
這個(gè)廣告牌已經(jīng)產(chǎn)出數(shù)千公升的飲用水。那等同于一個(gè)月數(shù)百戶家庭的用水量。
They could put this in different places, if possible in each village, in each town. So water can be generated through these billboards—the water that gives us life.
他們可以將這置于不同地方,如果可以的話裝在每個(gè)村落里、每個(gè)城鎮(zhèn)里。這樣一來(lái)水可以透過(guò)這些廣告牌產(chǎn)出--賜予我們生命的水。
We will continue changing the world through engineering. UTEC.
我們會(huì)繼續(xù)利用工程來(lái)改變世界。UTEC
