Here is a very cool and innovative Water Harvesting Tower system that could possibly help solve Darfur's water shortage and drought. A team of scientists have devloped a way that could pump water from an underground lake to the surface.
Thanks to Inhabitat for the images and details:
Darfur has long been plagued by significant droughts, however in 2007 scientists at Boston University discovered the region has one of the biggest underwater lakes in the world. Putting these two facts together, Polish firm H3AR designed an incredible water-harvesting skyscraper that would draw h2o from underground and create an artificial lake!
Darfur's underground lake covers a distance of 19,110 square miles and has the potential to restore peace to a region ravaged by drought, however providing access to all that water has proven difficult. H3AR's Watertower aims to tap this resource through good design and effective water management.
