The scope of this paper is to review different types of sustainable water harvesting methods from the atmospheric fogs and dew. In this paper, we report upon the water collection performance of various fog collectors around the world. We also review technical aspects of fog collector feasibility studies and the efficiency improvements. Modern fog harvesting innovations are often bioinspired technology. Fog harvesting technology is obviously limited by global fog occurrence. In contrast, dew water harvester is available everywhere but requires a cooled condensing surface. In this review, the dew water collection systems is divided into three categories: i) dew water harvesting using radiative cooling surface, ii) solar-regenerated desiccant system and iii) active condensation technology. The key target in all these approaches is the development of an atmospheric water collector that can produce water regardless of the humidity level, geographical location, low in cost and can be made using local materials.

回顾大气水收集的可持续方法

本文的范围是回顾来自大气雾和露水的不同类型的可持续集水方法。在本文中，我们报告了世界各地各种集雾器的集水性能。我们还将审查除雾器可行性研究和效率提高的技术方面。现代雾气收集创新通常是受生物启发的技术。雾气收集技术显然受到全球雾气发生的限制。相比之下，露水集水器随处可见，但需要冷却的冷凝表面。在这篇综述中，露水收集系统分为三类：i）使用辐射冷却表面收集露水，ii）太阳再生干燥剂系统，iii）主动冷凝技术。
