Biomimicry
Organisms have adapted structurally, physiologically and behaviorally to suit the environments around them and to coexist with abiotic factors in ever changing climates and ecosystems. Humans have only been on this planet for a small part in the bigger scale of time, inhabiting the different parts of the world to build and alter landscapes to suit our needs.
Biomimicry is the study of organisms' adaptations to maintain and sustain the natural resources around us. We are able to do so by learning, researching and observing natural elements around us and applying this to our daily lives, making products, processes and policies that are well adjusted to life on earth. Biomimicry allows us to solve complex human problems with nature's …show more content…
Its unique characteristics have inspired the minds of scientists who have developed water vapour harvesting technology and even self-filling water bottles modelled off the physical elements of the beetle. The findings have the potential to revolutionise countries suffering from droughts or even a lack of clean, accessible drinking water with the development of fog-harvesting mesh.
Positive Impacts of Biomimicry on Australia
Australia is a country with an abundance of natural resources, it is necessary to make sure those resources are renewable and sustained. Biomimicry could solve this, and so many more of the problems our country faces on a daily basis. This would better our country environmentally and also, economically. Applying principles from nature results in products with lesser raw materials and reduces waste. With manmade solutions to problems, there are usually negative side effects that come as a byproduct causing an endless cycle of inconveniences. By utilising the environment's answers to these …show more content…
The hunt for new sources of drinkable and usable water is ever present but the introduction of this design could greatly impact our current water storage and production structures. By placing fog-harvesting mesh around Australia, desalination plants will be less of use cutting costs and energy used for them. The cheap, accessible and flexibility of the mesh allows it to be distributed at ease and is a worthy investment. This design was developed to help desert areas within Chile to produce their own water with low costs and efficiency. It has done just that and more and is said to be able to provide backup water systems during droughts and could also be vital for the survival of agriculture farms located in hot and dry
