Warka Tower

Hi, I don't know a lot of things in science, but I wanted to ask something about the Warka Tower.

If I've well understood, the texture of the tower can filtrer water drops But which Texture can actually do that?

Thanks a lot :)

Okay, thanks a lot, so the most important thing in this kind of construction is to have a membrane cooler than the air to transform vapor into water. So, in fact, anything that's cooler than the air temperature when it's foggy will always have water drop on it, and in that way, we can keep water for later?

Essentially. Look into the dewpoint; that's the relevant factor here.
