The theory of cooling towers allows for the creation of a simple parabolic structure composed of metal rods and wires coated with hydrophobic material. This design is suitable for any location globally, irrespective of terrain, and is cost-effective to construct and maintain. The system functions independently of wind conditions and could be a pioneer in atmospheric condensation water catchment systems. Water droplets slide down the inclined rods towards a central reservoir, which can be extracted using suction or pressure difference. Despite not having conducted calculations, the psychrometric chart indicates that water collection depends on relative humidity and temperature. To maintain cold air over the condenser surface, it is crucial to minimize convective exchange and keep the air mass stable. A fog net covering the parabolic mesh can enhance efficiency with a 10-meter diameter base and height. On average, this design yields 50-80 grams of condensed water per square meter, translating to approximately 24 liters daily for a 245-square-meter surface area.
