Answer to Question 1

Answers will vary. It may be easier to harvest water in
humid climates, where the air contains a lot of available
moisture. Cold climates could also support atmospheric
water harvesting because of condensation, but cold air
holds very little water vapor.



Answer to Question 2

Because of the amount of power used in pumping and
filtering saltwater.
