Zusammenfassung |
The global potential for collecting usable water from dew on an artificial
collector sheet was investigated by utilizing 34 years of meteorological
reanalysis data as input to a dew formation model. Continental dew formation
was found to be frequent and common, but daily yields were mostly below
0.1 mm. Nevertheless, some water-stressed areas such as parts of the coastal
regions of northern Africa and the Arabian Peninsula show potential for
large-scale dew harvesting, as the yearly yield may reach up to 100 L m−2
for a commonly used polyethylene foil. Statistically significant trends were
found in the data, indicating overall changes in dew yields of between ±10%
over the investigated time period. |
