This invention is designed to create potentially unlimited commercial fresh water at a significantly reduced cost in relation to existing fresh water creation systems such as sea water desalination. This invention pumps coastal atmospheric air through sealed pipes to ocean water depths (ideally) of approximately 100-305 meters, or (ideally) into the local ocean's thermocline layer. Fresh water condensation occurs inside the sealed air pipes as cold ocean water chills the outside of the pipes. Condensation fresh water flows via gravity to the low point in the sealed air pipes where a powered fresh water pump is located. This powered fresh water pump then pumps the accumulated condensation water to the ocean surface and then on to shore as usable fresh water. The pumped-in air, now dehumidified, is piped to the surface and returned to the atmosphere. 1. A fresh water generation system using coastal atmosphere and ocean water for creating cost effective fresh water for municipal water supplies and irrigation , comprising:means for pumping accumulated condensation fresh water to the ocean surface;means for creating airflow hesitation and compression of pumped in atmospheric air;means for delivering atmospheric air from ocean shoreline to ocean depths also acting as fresh water condensation contact and heat conduction surface and downhill flow channel for condensation fresh water to flow to low point in system;means for pumping atmospheric air into the airflow delivery and condensation pipe, rigidly connected to said means for delivering atmospheric air from ocean shoreline to ocean depths also acting as fresh water condensation contact and heat conduction surface and downhill flow channel for condensation fresh water to flow to low point in system;means for utilizing natural slope of sea bed for fresh water condensation to flow via gravity to low point in system;means for returning the dehumidified air back to the atmosphere also acting as fresh water condensation ...
