Obtaining water from atmospheric air comprises cooling atmospheric air to produce water and separating the water from residual air by centrifugal force wherein microscopic particles are provided to interact with the atmospheric air to enhance the formation of water. Preferably ground level atmospheric moist air containing a mixture of gases and water vapour is forced into a super-cooled condensing chamber 1 by high pressure air vacuum pumps (2,3,4 Fig 1) to instantly condense the water vapour into ice crystals or water droplets. The ice crystals or water droplets may be forced under high pressure into a centrifugal separation chamber 7 where ice crystals and water droplets are separated from the air and extracted from the separation chamber by a series of vacuum pumps 10. Advantageously the extracted ice crystals and water droplets are collected in water storage tanks, to be used for domestic, industrial and agricultural consumption and the remaining dry air is released 11 back into the atmosphere where it again becomes saturated with moisture.
