That is considerable output for such a small area...
About 150 ml (five ounces) produced from a 4 inch square collector, in one day?

Nature has always been doing this.
You ever look at the stalks and leaves of a squash plant? A large leaf held up by a U shaped stalk. Dew collects on the leaf, then runs down the U channel of the stalk to the area where the roots are.
Some other plants do the same.

This cactus-like structure, with its ability to trap water droplets, will also collect dust. How much water would it take to flush out the dust?
