Abstract
Bioinspired large water harvesting towers and portable water harvesting towers are of commercial interest. Large water harvesting towers can be used to supply water to a community in arid regions. Portable units can be used to supply a home or a camper (Fig. 6.1) (adapted from image provided by Getty images) (Bhushan in Phil Trans R Soc. 378:20190440, 2020). Unlike in desalination, these units can be operated inland. Manufacturing and maintenance costs and energy consumption will be an important consideration for economic viability in these applications.
