Capable of producing 25 gallons (96 liters) of water a day during summer, the billboard has produced 9450 liters of clean drinking water for a nearby community in the three months since it was first installed....<br><br><a href='https://inhabitat.com/roadside-billboard-produces-drinkable-water-from-desert-air-in-peru/'>READ ARTICLE</a>
