==Suitable conditions==
* Large areas of unused land.
* Areas with large diurnal temperature range (at least 12 degrees Celsius from day to night).
* Areas with low winds (winds cause evaporation). It is advised to have an upper limit of 4 m/s at 10m.
* The average wind speeds where dew forms correspond to rather large speed (1-2 m/s), higher than ones found in continental locations of 0.1 - 0.2 m/s.
* Dew yields are seen to rise when cloud cover diminishes because the radiative cooling increases.
* The largest dew yields correspond to the highest humidity and the lowest cooling temperature.
- Variability in water collection, which also varies according to the season. Need to supplement water from other sources. <br>

==Resilience to changes in the environment==
Dew collection is not affected by drought or changing precipitation, only if there are changes in humidity. Less humidity means less dew.
