Abstract
ARISING from the serious shortage of water in many districts during the summers of 1933 and 1934, the suggestion was made that the collection of dew would be profitable and that research should be undertaken into the economic design of dew-ponds. A little consideration showed that certain types of roofs, suitably insulated underneath, might act as economical and efficient collectors of dew.
