Global Innovators Join The Water Council’s BREW 2.0 Program

When Hurricane Milton made landfall in Florida on Oct. 9, St. Petersburg’s water main lines were ruptured. Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital, which has a large neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), was one of the affected hospitals in the area.

A Tampa-based company that makes atmospheric water generators and the state of Florida were able to supply one to a hospital shortly after Milton made landfall.

Systems that can harvest water from moisture in the atmosphere could offer a valuable water source in the wake of disasters.
