Description: Drinking water scarcity and the inaccessibility of treated municipal water is one of the major burning issues of today?s world. Though water covers more than two third (about 70%) of the Earth?s surface but there?s only 2.5 % of freshwater available for drinking. Literature reviled that in 2025, the drinkable water shortage may affect 2.8 billion people across the world. Atmospheric Water Extraction (AWE) is a potential source of potable water, as the earth?s atmosphere is a massive renewable water resource, containing approximately 12,900 billion tons of fresh water (98%) in vapor, and the rest in a condensed state clouds and fog. Pakistan is situated in the subtropical climate region of South Asia and needs renewable energy alternatives that can solve the drinkable water problems, especially in remote areas. AWG works by employing a compressor to convert refrigerant to pressurized refrigerant, which is then circulated through condenser pipes, lowering the air temperature to its dew point. This article aims to provide the importance of AWE related renewable technologies, adaptation, assistance, performance, and feasibility in different climatic regions of Pakistan. Vapor Compression Refrigeration (VCR) and Integrated Hybrid Refrigeration (IHR) methods are the most effective for AWE harvesting strategies that should be adopt in Pakistan which have been determined by assessing the results of previous studies, reviews, and evaluations on these technologies by scientists.
