Does anyone think it is conceivable to develop community based dehumidifiers which can generate drinking water for communities as opposed to water treatment plants which cannot remove many of the impure chemicals which make their way into our waterways?
There is always humidity and the technology is available. Please post on this idea to develop solar powered water plants.

Thanks for the positive comment on large scale dehumidifiers helping small and larger populations centers. The National Tap Water Database available at Environmental Working Group clearly shows we are sitting on an enormous unknown factor by ingesting many toxic pollutants which are not removed during conventional water treatment process.

I don't know much more about where to start with this...but it seems to me that stopping the addition of chemicals to the water is one place.
THe unit i saw does about 5000liters but I didn't read more about it.
Just a quick look at the Sonoma county water department shows no additives of note are put in the water... http://www.scwa.ca.gov/about_your_water/water_facts.php
Another quick search shows that some silly people want fluoride in the water because they think it will help their kids teeth: http://www.fasc.org/soco-realities-eng.html
It's a really interesting idea. I feel that it is important that we start to add regulations to bottled water manufacturers that they do gas analysis and molecular analysis, deeper then PPM, and state the explicit source for water, as well as the additives they don't filter, if they filter at all.
