The system can function in air with 20% humidity or less. But these 1,000 liter a day machines are not small, at around shipping container size.

You can't really consume water especially if you take it out of the air. Worst case you temporarily barrow it till it evaporates again it's not like the water is suddenly gonna be pumped out to the ocean or something.

Do you think they are condensing 1000L of water to then just splash it on the ground where it was farmed? That water is going to people (or more likely companies) that are going to leave the ecosystem.
