dc.description.abstract	Dewfall occurs over a season of nine months in coastal arid district of Kutch. Quantity too is appreciable. A research program has been started to develop efficient passive condensers to harvest dew and use it as a supplementary source of drinking water which is scarce in the area. A passive condenser is a device that cools itself at night by radiative exchange with clear sky. Under favorable conditions condenser may become colder than the dew point of surrounding humid air and attract condensation.	en
