  <abstract>Warka Water is an alternative water source for rural populations in Africa that face difficulties accessing drinking water. With the objective of providing an average of 100 litres of drinking water every day, Warka Water collects rain and harvests fog and dew. The Warka’s water harvesting technique and construction system are inspired by biomimicry, which engages the imitation of natural phenomena for the purpose of solving complex human problems. Many plants and animals have developed unique micro- and nano-scale structural features on their surfaces that enable them to collect water from the air and survive in hostile environments.</abstract>
