The next war will be over water!
Because it's always there!"
You may have noticed when you buy bottled water, one gallon of it can cost more than gasoline.
And in a disaster area or a war zone, jugs of water get even pricier.
What could be more innocent than a pearl of dew ? Everybody knows dew.
It appears in the early morning, when the sun has barely risen. Dew covers grass and leaves with diaphanous silver droplets. Fragile enough, that a single sunbeam is enough to volatilize it.
Pure as a diamond, and yet so fragile!
The alchemists were not mistaken, when they made dew one of the main ingredients for the elaboration of the Philosophic Stone. Its transparency has to be collected in the early morning (but can we collect it differently?), unrolling a dry linen on grass and foliage to gather the droplets of dew. After soaking, the pure water is collected for the “Great Work”
Dew has, it seems others virtues

And many other positive attributes have been credited to dew. Dew, the inspiration source of arts and letters, is also present in different religions.
In the Bible, the Writings employ the word dew in the figurative sense, to indicate all things that without noise, and even in an invisible way, brings refreshment and blessing, like the dew for the vegetation.
In Ecclesiastes, the writer wants to remember only the transience associated with dew,
and assimilates it with vanity and inanity of all things: literal significance of the famous words where Ecclesiastes deplore the void and nothingness of things: "vanity of vanities, and all is vanity" it is literally in Hebrew:
"Dew, dew, and all is nothing but dew?" Dew is a source of pure water, modest, generally, but which can prove to be an essential contribution in the places where water is missing most: deserts.
Many hot countries suffer from the absence of water.
However, its amount in the atmosphere can be considerable.
Man started very early to try to collect dew to feed out with fresh water.

There are several testimonies, even legends, which speaks about dew collected in an artificial way.
