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.

That water was in its way to somewhere, though. What is that other area gonna look like now that this device intercepts the water?

Dooooom

Someone is going to drink it then sweat it back into the air. I doubt its going to get bottled and shipped somewhere else.

Eventually all that dry air will end up above the ocean and absorb more water to balance the system. I don't think it's really an issue, we weren't getting rain clouds from the Sahara anyway.
