Abstract
A system for a vehicle includes a water separator and a particulate filter. The vehicle includes an engine that emits exhaust, and the water separator and the particulate filter are disposed downstream of the engine and receives at least a portion of the exhaust. The water separator separates water from the exhaust, and the particulate filter filters particulates of the exhaust such that the water may be subsequently used, e.g., for potable uses, operation of the engine, etc.
