1. A system for collecting water droplets from an airflow of a cooling tower through condensation of water vapor, the system comprising an electrostatic separator;
wherein the electrostatic separator is a single-unit electrostatic separator or a multi-unit electrostatic separator, and wherein the system for collecting water droplets from an airflow of a cooling tower further comprises:
a hot water tank;
water heaters to control a temperature of water within the hot water tank;
water pumps to pump cooled water back to the cooling tower;
an acrylic tube for water vapor condensation;
an annular water collection trough; and
a water collection tank.
