Weather of Arabia - "Expo 2020 Dubai" is considered one of the most important global events that the Emirate of Dubai in the United Arab Emirates won the right to host this year, after it was postponed last year due to the closures imposed by the Corona pandemic on the countries of the world, which is the first An exhibition to be held in the Middle East, and extends from October 1, 2021 until March 31, 2022, through which the city of Dubai unites the ideas of 192 countries from around the world, on an area of 4.5 square kilometers.

 

Each pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai has its own distinctive features, and today we are talking about the Dutch pavilion that used “SunGlacier” technology to produce clean water from desert air.

 

Modern technology in the Dutch pavilion produces rain from desert air

It was a surprising moment for visitors to the Dutch Pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai when a splash of water fell from the top of the tower-shaped pavilion, in a realistic demonstration of how 800 liters of water a day is generated from the desert air.

 

The visit begins when visitors descend four meters to the bottom of the pavilion, at which point the temperature drops significantly and the guests are handed umbrellas. Inside the pavilion, the white umbrellas turn into lighted displays explaining how to create the sustainable structure.

 

Solar cells and panels on the roof provide electricity to power the process of capturing moisture from the air in the atmosphere.
