eBook 정보
The book progresses from the science of dew formation and the engineering of collection devices to the socio-environmental impact of these technologies. Case studies demonstrate the implementation of dew harvesting systems across diverse arid environments, assessing their effectiveness and social acceptance. By considering the environmental footprint of these systems, the book emphasizes dew harvesting as part of an integrated water management strategy for a sustainable water source.
The book's structure begins with an introduction to the science of dew formation, explaining the meteorological processes that lead to dew deposition. It then explores various dew-collecting technologies, ranging from passive condensers to active systems using thermoelectric cooling. The book culminates with a discussion of the future of dew harvesting, identifying research priorities and policy recommendations for maximizing its potential as a sustainable water source.
