PM Modi, during the interaction, pitched the idea that the wind turbines could suck water from the air at places where moisture is more and provide clean, drinking water. "This way," he said, "with wind energy, we can also get water from the air."

Piyush Goyal, in his tweet earlier today, also added a link to a news website reporting how a french engeneering firm has been able to modify the traditional wind turbine design to allow it to suck water out of humid air. (ANI)
