Abstract
Developing passive water collection strategies offers us an opportunity to address global water scarcity and energy shortages. In a recent issue of Nature Water, Zou et al. introduced a novel solar-driven hygroscopic gel to efficiently recycle water for irrigation from plant transpiration and soil evaporation, offering a promising energy-saving solution for agricultural water management.
