## Abstract

The present disclosure describes related generally to water conservation systems and more specifically to water vapor recovery systems. In some embodiments the system and apparatus can comprise a collection component coupled with an elongate collection member, a support member and a storage vessel. In some embodiments, the support member can be configured to selectively and/or fixedly couple with the exterior of a structure. However, in alternate embodiments the system and apparatus can be configured to be free standing.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A water vapor condensate collection device, comprising:
a substantially planar collection component having a proximal edge, a distal edge, and an inferior edge;
an elongated collection member having a proximal end and a distal end, attached to and having a length approximately that of the inferior edge of said substantially planar collection component;
wherein the proximal edge of said substantially planar member is attached proximal to the distal end of an elongated support member such that an elongated collection member is inclined slightly relative to the perpendicular to an elongated support member and the proximal end of said collecting member is in proximity to the surface of said elongated support member;
wherein the proximal end of said elongated support member is coupled to the internal base of a storage vessel via a coupling member.
