At present, drought seasons are longer as a result of global warming, which has generated scarcity and rationing of water, these conditions become the main problem in towns far from urban areas and with little infrastructure. Mexico, with 653 aquifers throughout its territory, 106 are overexploited due to agricultural, mining, industrial and urban activities, which projects a possible depletion and contamination of its vital liquid to the country. For this reason, in order to contribute to a solution to the problem of water scarcity, when applying a control system to the technology used by Peltier cells, a moderate flow of water is generated, since it condenses the particles of water suspended in the air. In this way, a prototype was developed in which a Peltier cell arrangement is implemented to obtain as much water as possible under environmental factors, such as humidity and temperature, as well as an analysis of efficiency, cost and viability with a commercial generator system of water with similar capacities.
