<h2>Biocatalyzed atmospheric condensation</h2>

The right of access to water is a fundamental human right. This right has been referred to in a number of international documents over past decades and was specifically included in the Convention on the Rights of the Child in 1989. The principle was reinforced that everyone, regardless of their location and economic circumstances, should be entitled to sufficient, safe and affordable freshwater and sanitation.

For the first time in history, the global demand for freshwater is overtaking its supply in many parts of the world. The U.N. predicts that by 2025, more than half of the countries in the world will be experiencing water stress or outright shortages. The United Nations Secretary-General, Kofi Annan, states the 'Lack of access to water for drinking, hygiene, and food security inflicts enormous hardship on more than one billion members of the human family'.

Our project wants to design an optimized modular shape/surface for condensation and subsequent freshwater collection by gravity. Our modules will be 3D printed in an innovative desiccant filament that allows us to bind ice-nucleating proteins. The project primary focus it to enable bioprecipitation and recover freshwater by passive atmospheric condensation. Being able to functionize 3D-printed shapes with biologicals has a plethora of potential applications. </p>

The aim of our project is to design an optimized 3D shape for condensing water, using a fusion protein of INP and streptavidin to increase our water collection.

The shape is designed to be modular (so it can be scaled up easily) and stackable (so many units can be transported and stored easily and cheaply), and is 3D-printed in a PLA-filament containing biotin. To increase the condensation capabilities of our water collector, we attach a fusion protein of INP (Ice Nucleation Protein) with streptavidin to the biotin. INP is a protein of certain bacteria that improves the nucleation of ice at higher temperatures than normal. As condensation also involves nucleation, INP can be used to increase condensation, and hence water collection.
