>but probably still less efficient than trucking water in from somewhere a few hundred miles away where it's plentiful I think the convenience and self-sufficiency factor might outweigh the raw efficiency considerations. Petrol and trucks aren't readily available to every villager. With this, there is no more worry about meeting the water truck and doing without. A big concern is what the lifespan of MOFs are. If it can be used for decades with minimal maintenance, it could be a game changer. If not, it would be back to the water truck!
