Atmospheric Water Harvesting
Atmospheric water condensation captures moisture from the air and makes it available as a local water source through condensation. Depending on the context, this can be achieved passively through nocturnal radiative cooling or actively through technical condensation systems integrated into greenhouses. These solutions provide small but valuable volumes highly pure water that can be reused locally.
Within GEORGIA, atmospheric water condensation is demonstrated in vineyards and greenhouse systems to support supplementary irrigation, improve water availability during dry periods, and, in some cases, support greenhouse microclimate control.

Active atmospheric water condensation for greenhouse water recovery and microclimate control
An active condensation unit (based on an industrial dehumidifier/heat pump) that recovers water from humid greenhouse air. It provides distilled water for nursery use while also helping manage greenhouse humidity and reduce fungal risk.
Greenhouse-integrated atmospheric water condensation for nursery irrigation
A passive system integrated into greenhouse structures condenses moisture from air during favourable conditions and collects it for reuse. It provides a supplementary water source and supports improved irrigation water quality for nurseries.
Passive dew condensation system for supplemental irrigation: “Kouloura Flower”
A passive dew-harvesting device that condenses atmospheric moisture and directs water towards the vine root zone. It offers small but valuable supplementary irrigation support for traditionally rainfed vineyards during dry periods.
