Abstract

This invention relates to apparatus 10 and methods for collection of airborne moisture such as rain water, dew or mist over bodies of water such as the sea or lakes. The apparatus is adapted to float on a body of water and comprises a collector 12 having an outer perimeter and an outlet and an immersible storage tank 14. A fluid connection means 16 forms a fluidic pathway between the outlet and an inlet to the storage tank, and a means to withdraw water from the tank. The apparatus may comprise a control means (computer) and one or more sensors which operate a valve which prevents contamination of the storage tank. The collector may be formed from flexible material supported by rigid supports (80 figure 5a). The apparatus may be anchored to the sea bed by cables (70 figure 4a) and by cables and anchors (74 figure 4b) in deeper water.
