A Well That Sucks Water From The Air

but if the water is constantly removed from the air, wouldn't that affect the vegetation in the area over time?

that could and would over time affect the food chain dramatically

The more likely that is to be a problem, the less efficient that type of collector is going to be. I just don't see that as a likely problem.

OTOH, that we are talking about such devices is because some areas will have severe water problems, and in some countries those problems could be catastrophic. (Like when the glaciers disappear in the Himalayas)

IOW, your concern is more than justified.
 
Always seemed to me that farming water in a desert was the epitome of foolishness. You farm things in areas where it's plentiful, not where it's scarce!

Well, sure, but the whole planet was desert so maybe that area WAS the good spot for water vaporators.

So, hack off a chunk of comet! These people can build space stations the size of moons, they can move a space snowball around.

Not sure the people building battle moons care much about the Aunt Berus of the galaxy.

I mean sure they COULD.. but...

I have a simple dehumidifier in Houston, Texas that I would guess yields 3-4 gallons per day. In Arizona it may be less-not sure. Trees yield billions of gallons of water every day.
