Default Condensation Panels

Living in a port city I notice more water accumulated on table tops in
outdoor restaurants during clear (cloudless sky) months and less
during cloudy months. Relative humidity averages 60 % through the
year, moulded plastic tables show greater volume of water than steel
or wooden tables. Any suggestions/ideas of using some other meterial
for enhanced condensation, the temperature of which falls even more
than the molded plastic tables. This water can be collected and
utilised.

I plan to construct as a pilot project for collecting this natural
resource for a community where potable water is scarce and subsoil
water is saline and unfit for human consumption. If this works larger
water collection units could be made for arid zones where humidity is
high.
