Water morgana?

Imagine yourself sitting in those typical Hoveniersbergclasses during a warm, nice day. Everyone is enjoying a drink on the Grasslay, while the MTB-community is gathering around for yet another guest lecture. The beads of sweat standing on our forehead, everyone hankering for a drop of water and finally, we reach our fata morgana ... in the form of a water cooler. But this is not a regular water cooler you find in the passage of almost every company. We, eco-friendly people from the MTB-community use a self-filling water cooler that extracts water from the air, purifies it and serves it up in nice refreshing dollops of goodness. Water passes through a filter which removes solids, oxygenates and removes any odours. Every 24 hours, this cooler generates 20 litres of pure hot or cold water. But there’s even more: this water cooler is solar powered! While the world outside is almost having a sunstroke, the MTB-community is bottling their own green but clean water thanks to this dispenser!
