SUMMARY:2026 Water Wonks Hour Lecture Series #4:                 A Deep Dive into Atmospheric Water Generation
DESCRIPTION:The Greater Edwards Aquifer Alliance is pleased to introduce our 2026 Water Wonks Lecture Series. Mark your calendars for 3:30 p.m. on the 4th Wednesday of each month. Water Wonks will feature a host of experts sharing innovative ideas and details about their work in the world of water.  The series is a free community education opportunity.\nSynopsis: Atmospheric water generation (AWG) is not a new technology, but it is relatively little-known outside of the water resource world. This technology, which creates liquid water by condensing atmospheric humidity, has great potential to be utilized in a variety of innovative applications from supplementing drinking water sources to providing cooling water for data centers. This talk will dive into the types, costs, current uses, and potential new uses of this exciting and rapidly developing water resource.\nJoining Audrey will be our Co-Speaker Eric Sheng, Co-Founder and COO of Aquaria climate-tech/water technology company that creates systems to generate drinking water from air.  Eric will provide a 15-minute discussion covering their efforts to provide homes in the Hill Country with AWG units and the potential for circular water systems in data centers.\nThis event has ended and registration is no longer available.Please visit our Water Wonks lecture series home page HERE ( https://aquiferalliance.org/water-wonks-series/ ) for recordings to all our lectures and registration for our next upcoming lecture.\n.\n																														\nLecture #4  A Deep Dive into Atmospheric Water Generation\n\nSpeaker: Audrey Marik.
