Cool stuff: Extracting water from air.

It's called a dehumidifier...available at your local walmart.

That's what I was thinking.

Remove water vapor from the air, alter rain patterns. Instant problems.

Only if a lot of people do it. If you start seeing them popping up, you're going to fuck everything up. I agree with you

Not being an expert I can't refute that. There is more water in our atmosphere than in our oceans though, so I wonder how much it would take to have an effect.

EDIT*

A quick google search shows that it might stop Global warming, being that "Water vapor is known to be Earth’s most abundant greenhouse gas"

If this was put in place across a large area, it would be an ecological disaster.

That's a pretty good idea, in principle at least. 800 liters is sufficient to sustain a small group of people, but crops? You would likely need hundreds of those for a small farm... and I would imagine hundreds of those would drive the unit cost for crops through the roof, unless obama decides I should pay for it. By "I" I mean middle income tax payers

But that's in a Galaxy far, far away. They don't count.
