In building their model, the researchers acknowledged that solar powered devices capable of pulling water from the air only work well under certain conditions—where humidity levels regularly reach 30%, where there is plenty of sunshine and where it is warm enough.

To account for people living in areas with such conditions, the researchers pulled average weather data from sites across the globe and mapped them with populations facing water challenges. In doing so, they found that more than a billion people could benefit from such a device that could produce on average five liters of drinking water per day.

They conclude by claiming that current technology trends suggest that the hypothetical device they envisioned in their model could soon become reality. At that point, however, it would fall to those who are able to pay for and distribute them to do so.
