Abstract  

Almost half of the countries and areas in the world are suffering from drought at different levels. Since arid and semi-arid regions are characterized by extreme shortage and uncertainty of precipitation, water availability is the most important limiting factor in arid lands, and any additional source of moisture, such as condensation water, may have a positive impact upon the ecosystem. Therefore, many experiments and studies have been carried out on condensation water recently. Based on articles and relevant documents on the subject, the paper reviews systematically and comprehensively the latest achievements on the researches in several main aspects, which including effects of condensation water on organism, microbiotic crusts, soil moisture balance, ground water recharge and its utilization by human being. History and trends of the researches about eco-hydrological effects of condensation water are aslo analyzed intensively in order to summarize the problems existing in the researches and offer opinions and suggestions on the study in the future.

Key words:  condensation water      eco-hydrological effects      arid regions
