Kazakh schoolgirl develops atmospheric water device
Almaty student partners with Water Resources Ministry to test award-winning technology that extracts moisture from the air
ASTANA, Kazakhstan (MNTV) — A schoolgirl from Almaty has signed a cooperation memorandum with the Water Resources and Irrigation Ministry to test and potentially expand a device she created to harvest water from the atmosphere, the ministry said, according to Qazinform.
Minister Nurzhan Nurzhigitov met with Dana Kadyrbek, a student at School No. 79, who developed an installation that uses modern nanomaterials to absorb and condense moisture from the air without external power sources.
Under the agreement, the ministry and Kadyrbek will jointly analyze the device’s efficiency, conduct pilot tests, exchange technical information and assess prospects for large-scale deployment.
Nurzhigitov directed the ministry’s Science and Innovation Department to support the project and presented Kadyrbek with a letter of appreciation.
Kadyrbek’s invention has earned international acclaim, securing first place among more than 2,000 participants from 36 countries at the WICO exhibition in South Korea and topping submissions from 24 countries at the Youth International Science Fair in Indonesia.
It has also been recognized at the International KazNU Conference and the Kazakhstan Smart Space competition, and was named among the top ten semifinalists of the UNIDO-supported Global Cleantech Innovation Programme, selected from over 500 applications nationwide.
