Conclusion<br />
INDIA<br />
Little set of data is needed to<br />
conclude the validation of the<br />
program<br />
This program has been<br />
advantageously used in <strong>Dew</strong><br />
factory project for orientation and<br />
yields prospective<br />
Next step is to develop a two<br />
phases dew condensation<br />
simulation for more accurate<br />
quantitative results
