Claim 0:
1. A system operable to extract water from ambient air, the system comprising:
a thermal unit configured to heat a regeneration fluid in a regeneration fluid pathway;
a first desiccant unit comprising:
an adsorption zone configured to receive ambient air; and
a desorption zone configured to receive the regeneration fluid from the regeneration fluid pathway;

a second desiccant unit configured to:
receive at least a portion of the regeneration fluid from the regeneration fluid pathway during a release time, and,
receive ambient air during a load time; and,
a condenser unit configured to produce liquid water from the regeneration fluid; and,
a controller configured to control production rate of liquid water from air based on an ambient environmental condition;
wherein the ambient environmental condition comprises: an ambient air temperature, an ambient air relative humidity, a level of solar insolation, or combinations thereof.
