Abstract

This factsheet presents the passive dew condensation system “Kouloura Flower” for supplementary vineyard irrigation. Installed at plant level around traditionally trained grapevines, the system harvests atmospheric moisture through nocturnal radiative cooling and delivers low-salinity condensate directly to the root zone, enhancing drought resilience in rainfed Mediterranean viticulture.
