The invention is a water recovery system that utilizes waste heat and a moving air stream to recover water with minimal use of energy and without the need to move water through filtration devices. The invention may be used for recovery and reuse of water for a wide range of emergency back-up, environmental, industrial, and mission-oriented purposes. 1. A water recovery apparatus comprised of:a component for generating a moving air stream with sufficient speed, pressure, and volume to transmit heat and water vapor;a waste heat component for heating said moving air stream;a waste receptacle having an open surface and containing a quantity of waste material having a recoverable water content, wherein said waste material forms a heating interface with said moving air stream;a cooling interface to reduce the temperature of said moving air stream as said moving air stream moves across said cooling interface; anda condensate collection area.2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein said moving air stream is continuously moving.3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the apparatus includes a housing that substantially encloses said moving air stream claim 1 , said heating interface claim 1 , and said cooling interface.4. The apparatus of claim 3 , wherein said moving air stream is continuously recirculated.5. The apparatus of claim 4 , wherein heat emitted from said cooling interface is used to heat said moving air stream.6. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein said component for generating a moving air stream is selected from a group consisting of: a fan claim 1 , a blower claim 1 , a mechanical generator claim 1 , a wind capture device claim 1 , a hydro-powered device claim 1 , a solar-powered device claim 1 , an electrically-powered device claim 1 , and a thermal gradient.7. The apparatus of claim 1 , which further includes a desiccant material interface.8. The apparatus of claim 1 , which further includes one or more sensors for sensing humidity at one or more points within ...
