Water shortage in central and southern part of Iran is going to become a serious problem. Although active system are employed but passive techniques should be tested due to their energy saving and low environmental impact. In this article attempt is made to perform both experimental and numerical simulation to predict fresh water supply from air by dehumidification. Experiments are performed in the city of Assaluyeh at north coast of Persian Gulf and simulation is done for 16 cities of Iran.
