I'm a bit confused, they talk about extracting from desert air and then talk about emergencies on Carribean islands, which are moist and tropical.
I'm not sure if the engineering makes sense on bringing an entire shipping container full of expensively produced metamaterials to provide 1 m^3 of water per day in emergencies. That same shipping container could instead contain 33 m^3 of cheap tap water from a humid region (which means more water per day in most emergencies), or it could contain the materials to build a water tower that contains 1000 m^3 (for if there are times when there is plenty of clean water, like in the Caribbean where it falls from the sky).
Depending on how polluting it was to make the device and what the ecological consequences are of removing usable amounts of moisture from desert air every day, I could see it making sense for people that have to live in a desert for one reason or another, but it's still an entire shipping container of advanced materials for a dozen people that import their food, when pumping an aquifer can provide water for far more people with far less tech.
So this looks like yet another "fuck you got mine" technology, allowing people than can afford a shipping container of advanced materials to have their own private water supply even if the public aquifer runs dry due to capitalist exploitation or wasteful posturing. And unlike a private water tower, it doesn't make much sense for the public to seize it because it only puts out such a small amount of water each day that only a handful of people can benefit.
If this was done intentionally - and it seems hard not to, given it's a for-profit company - then it's some very impressive hyperindividualist prefiguration. It's the part of lifeboat environmentalism where they expertly design the lifeboat to only fit the rich.
