Even during floods, there is often a shortage of water: clean drinking water. Nobel Prize winner Omar Yaghi has developed a process to produce water from air that is more environmentally friendly than previous methods. It does not replace the drinking water that is lacking on our planet, but it can quickly save people's lives in the event of disasters. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/feb/21/nobel-laureate-omar-yaghi-invents-machine-that-harvests-water-from-dry-air

@NatureMC I remember a young inventor of the year came up with a purifying filter built into a push or pull able drum you filled with water. By the time you rolled the drum home from the well it was potable. Designed for 3rd world countries and maintainable. I’ve not heard of it since.
