Collecting water from tree leaves.

Hello. I've just saw a video of somebody collecting water from the morning dew from the leaves of a tree. Is that true in real life? I've never seen anybody do that before, but it's something that I could consider. Which trees I collect water from, I mean correct ones. I'm looking for more ways to get water in case if water go out in the difficult days ahead. Please reach me from this box below if you all need anything. Take care.

Sure, you can collect dew from trees, grass, anything. But: assume it is raw water, spiced with bird/bat/mouse poop etc., so it must be well boiled before ingesting. Tea improves the flavour.

Aside: I recall that in areas with dense fogs but little actual rainfall, collectors made of screens can salvage meaningful volumes of water for local use.

How are you friend? Which leaves do we get the cleanest of all water? I wanna find out when we collect water from the leaves. The only I found out how is to use freezer plastic around a tree leaf, then tie it around it and let it sit overnight till morning when dew kick in. Tried that before?

That is how forest become sources of rivers. They grab fog, rain, mist and slowly allow it to dsrop to the ground so there is no flood.
The ground holds it in the understory until it starts to move downhill.
When you cut the trees down, the rain hits the ground and causes erosion.
Fog and mist is not captured and the area dries out.

In Queensland where they see trees as cash, they discovered when they did clear the rainforests creek and rivers dried, and pasty=ure they created was rubbish in a few years.
This was in the 1970's not the 1870's???

Okay, it looks there's a couple different groups of people who gather dew by dragging cloth (tee shirts attached to legs or wide sheets of cloth) dragged through fields and rung out.

On a larger scale are fog catcher devices that are usually constructed of inverted plastic domes that drain to a collection site.  I bet you could build on of these of old window glass.  I suspect that would be the easiest thing to keep free from contamination though it is always safest to filter or sanitize if you need ot to be potable.
