Drinking water out of air

I came upon an interesting video on the youtube.
The capital city of Peru, Lima, has two inches of rainfall a year which makes  people to search water from the ground to build wells. But Peru's atmospheric humidity is roughly 98%, indicating that the air is filled with water.

The students from UTEC(Universidad de Ingenieria & Technologia) came up with cool idea of making a billboard which extracts moisture out of the humid air and turns it into potable drinking water. 

The technology behind the mechanics are in the video. How cool it would be to fill up your tumbler from the billboard post from the street!

    Thank you guys for your comment. That technology can be applied in limited area surely.
    As Pratap mentioned I think it is important to use locally available resource to keep one's community green. ^^*

    Using available resource locally available rather than depending upon external factors is really cool and sustainable.

    Thx for the info...

    Just today I came across one news article in newspaper that one manned mars mission is planned in next 5 years where drinking water requirement inside the spacecraft will be met from astronaut's own urine and sweat for 16 months period.... so I think, many technologies are available but the issue is make it economically viable....

    any innovation should be accessible to all to be applicable and sustainability.........
