No. I mean maybe, but I remember this straight from Dune.

 

Absolutely right from Dune. The stilsuits that the Arakkis fremen wore used energy generated from the wearer's movements to reclaim moisture from urine and feces.

 

Years later the concept for a urine-to-water still turned up again in Waterworld.

I didn't know about Waterworld, but I was sure about Dune. I read the book twice, at least.

It's a fair cop, as far as the original Dune series is concerned. I loved those books and think Frank Herbert at his best was a brilliant author. Other than Tolkein, I don't think there has been a sci-fi/fantasy author who has fleshed out a fictional universe as thoroughly or thoughtfully as the one from the Dune books.
