Jordan is a challenging region in which to operate AWGs --- especially the most common type, those using mechanical dehumidification technology. The atmospheric water vapour resource and dew point of the outdoor air vary noticeably with the seasons. Relatively high elevations above sea level affect the local climates by extending the winter season. Mechanical dehumidification type AWGs might not operate satisfactorily during the winter months. Desiccant-type AWGs could operate year round. Reasonable energy costs may depend on viability of using solar thermal means to recover water from the desiccant.   Recent research on AWGs suitable for Jordan is being done by  Materials Discovery Research Unit, Advanced Research Centre, Royal Scientific Society, Amman, 11941, Jordan Husam A. Almassad, Rada I. Abaza, Lama Siwwan, Bassem Al-Maythalony & Kyle E. Cordova   You may wish to contact them for the most relevant regional expertise.   Regards, Roland Wahlgren, Atmoswater Research North Vancouver, Canada www.atmoswater.com
