Introduction: How to Get Water in a Desert or Other Hot Place
In this DIY i will be showing how to get water in a hot place
Things you need:
• A container that is big enough to hold a few rocks and plants
• Some small pebbles or rocks
• A few plants
• and plastic wrap
• a smaller container
- Firstly, take your container and add a few rocks
- Then add the plants
- Then add the small container on the plants and rocks
- Then cover the top with plastic wrap, but make sure to cover up the whole thing!
- Then put it in direct sunlight
The reason this works is because plants to something that is similar to sweating, which is called transpiration. It is a process that occurs in plants when they release unnecessary water through their leaves.

I believe you have to put a small weight on top of and in the center of the plastic wrap to cause it to sag so the condensation will drip into your catch basin.

If you place a small pebble in the center of the plastic wrap on the top, it will make enough of a dip that the water droplets will drip right into your small bowl.

This is a great survival trick. More important than getting water, it gets you clean water. Lots of places have water but it isn't safe to drink.
