Abstract - Without water, there is no life on our Earth. We
grass, leaves, flowers, and manmade objects like cars and fences. (If it's cold enough, the water droplets can turn into ice, forming frost.) Dew occurs when the water vapor condenses faster than it evaporates. As the air cools, and at a certain barometric pressure, it will eventually reach a temperature where the water vapor condenses into dew. This temperature is called the dew point. When the temperature increases during daylight hours, the dew evaporates.
strongly implore you to conserve our natural resources, all of the, but especially our water. Wasting water is a lethal mistake. Water scarcity is already a life threatening problem, in near future we can expect it will raise to the peak. For future use this idea will be a favor for use of water. We had built a dew trap to collect water and determine how the surface area of the trap contributes to the amount of water it had collected. In this case, the trap will not strictly harvest dew, but the water that condenses on the inside of the cool trap covering. To build the dew trap, we dug holes 1 ft deep in the ground, placed a collector at the bottom of the hole, and then covered the hole with clear plastic. The collected water is analyzed for various lab testing.
In this environmental engineering project, we will build a dew trap to collect water and determine how the surface area of the trap contributes to the amount of water it collects. In this case, the trap will not strictly harvest dew, but the water that condenses on the inside of the cool trap covering. To build the dew trap, we will dig holes 1 foot (ft.) deep (of two opening sizes) in the ground, place a collector at the bottom of the hole, and then cover the hole with clear plastic.

2. LITERATURE REVIEW
1. INTRODUCTION
The extensive literature survey has been done and papers were collected from various journals. The contents of the paper related to water and soil have been discussed below.
Without water, there is no life on our Earth. We strongly implore you to conserve our natural resources, all of them, but especially our water. Wasting water is a lethal mistake. Water is important to the mechanics of the human body. The body cannot work without it, just as a car cannot run without gas and oil. In fact, all the cell and organ functions that make up our entire anatomy and physiology depend on water for their functioning.
Mehlo, et al (2013) in their international conference carried out a project on Monitoring and Modeling of Water Quality Characteristics. Potable water quality can deteriorate immensely from a point of treatment to point of usage. This change in quality along a bulk distribution main may be attributable to numerous factors for example, ingress of storm water. Furthermore, water utilities experience challenges in terms of microbiological organisms that are not attributed to operational practices.
Deserts are defined as landscapes that receive on average less than 10 inches (about 250 millimeters) of precipitation (either rain or snow) per year. For people who live in the desert or in semi-arid regions, which receive between 10 inches and 20 inches of precipitation on average per year, finding water can mean the difference between life and death. You may not see water in the form of a lake or stream in a desert, but that doesn't mean that water isn't present in the environment. Water vapor in the air, also known as humidity, comes from water evaporating (changing from liquid to gas) from oceans, lakes, and other bodies of water, and water vapor excreted by the leaves of plants through a process called transpiration. Water also exists in the form of dew, small droplets of water that form on surfaces during the night. As the nighttime air cools to a point where it can't hold any more water vapor, the vapor condenses from a gas into a liquid on exposed objects like

Satish Gupta, et al (2004) carried out an investigation on Moisture Retention Characteristics of Base and Sub- base Materials. Soil water retention refers to the relationship between the amount of soil water and the energy with which it is held. This relationship is important for characterizing water movement through granular materials. ManojYadav and Dharmendra (2014) investigated A Critical Review on Performance of Wastewater Reuse Systems. Interest in wastewater reuse is increasing all over the world. India, as a developing country also faces water
