086 Warka Water 03

‘Warka Water’ is an alternative water source for rural populations that face challenges in accessing drinkable water. It is first and foremost and architecture project. A vertical structure designed to harvest potable water from the atmosphere, Warka Water collects rain and harvests fog and dew, with the objective of providing an average of 100 L of drinking water every day. Built with simple tools, and using a passive system to collect water from the atmosphere, Warka Water is designed to be owned and operated by the villagers. When a small rural community adopts Warka Water, it can lead to impactful change in a variety of areas, including the community’s education, economy, society, and agriculture, as well as impacting the environment. A project pilot, the version n. 3, was finally installed in a rural village in south Ethiopa, Dorze, on May 2015.

Italian

'Warka Water' è una fonte d'acqua alternativa per le popolazioni rurali che affrontano continue sfide di accesso all'acqua potabile. È principalmente e soprattutto un progetto architettonico. Progettata come struttura verticale per raccogliere l'acqua potabile dall'atmosfera, il Warka Water raccoglie pioggia, nebbia e condensa, con l'obiettivo di fornire una media 100 L di acqua potabile ogni giorno. Essendo costruito con strumenti semplici, ed usando un sistema passivo per raccogliere l'acqua dall'atmosfera, il Warka Water è stato quindi progettato per appartenere ed essere gestito direttamente dagli abitanti dei villaggi. L’utilizzo del Warka Water da parte di una piccola comunità rurale non ha soltanto un forte impatto ambientale, ma può portare ad un cambiamento significativo in una molteplicità di settori , tra cui l'educazione della comunità, l'economia, la sfera sociale e l’agricoltura.

French

'Warka Water' est une structure en bambou produisant de l’eau potable. Le projet a été conçu pour les régions montagneuses d’Ethiopie où femmes et enfants doivent marcher au quotidien des heures pour récupérer de l’eau parfois contaminée. C’est pour améliorer ces conditions dramatiques qu’‘AV’ a développé ‘Warka Water’. Ce nom est inspiré des ‘Warka’, arbres gigantesques d’Ethiopie en voie d’extinction, utilisés traditionnellement comme lieux de réunion. Un tissu particulier récupérant de l’eau potable par condensation est tendu à l’intérieur de la structure de 9 mètres de hauteur. Présenté pour la première fois à la biennale d’architecture de Venise de 2012, ‘Warka Water’ peut être facilement construit à partir de matériaux locaux par les habitants de villages éthiopiens en utilisant.

Arabic

‘مياة واركا’ هيكل مصنوع من الخيزران يقوم بإنتاج مياه صالحة للشرب. تم تصميم هذا المشروع خصيصًا للمناطق الجبلية في أثيوبيا، حيث يضطر النساء والأطفال للسير يوميًا لساعات من أجل الحصول على كميات من المياه والتي عادةً ما تكون غير آمنة. ولتحسين تلك الحالة المزرية، قام استديو ‘العمارة والرؤية’ بابتكار ‘مياه واركا’. وهذا الاسم مستوحى من أشجار ‘الواركا’ الأثيوبية العملاقة المهددة بالانقراض، والتي عادةً ما تستخدم بوصفها أماكن للالتقاء. ويوجد داخل الإطار المثلث الذي يبلغ ارتفاعه تسعة مترات أنسجة خاصة تقوم بتجميع مياه الشرب من الهواء عن طريق التكثيف. هذا ومن السهل على القرويين في أثيوبيا بنائه باستخدام المواد المحلية. لقد تم تقديم مشروع ‘مياة واركا’ خلال البينالي الـثالث عشر للعمارة في البندقية عام 2012
