The word "caldew" is pronounced as /ˈkɔːldjuː/.

"Calder" generally refers to a body of water or river, while "dew" refers to tiny water droplets that form on surfaces during the night. Therefore, "caldew" can be defined as the dew that settles or collects near or on a body of water, such as a river, creek, or stream.
Specifically, caldew is the condensation of moisture that occurs in close proximity to a water source, leading to the formation of small droplets on plants, rocks, or any objects located near the riverbed or banks. This phenomenon typically happens during the cooler night-time temperatures when the air is saturated with moisture, thus causing the water vapor to condense and form dew. Caldew is more likely to occur in regions where rivers or bodies of water are surrounded by humid climates or dense vegetation.
The presence of caldew may have various effects on the surrounding environment. It can provide a source of hydration for plants and animal life in arid areas, allowing them to survive in relatively dry conditions. Additionally, caldew can contribute to the growth of moss, ferns, or other moisture-loving plants that thrive along the riverbanks. It also creates visually appealing scenes, especially when the early morning sunlight filters through the droplets, creating sparkling or glistening effects. Caldew is a natural occurrence that showcases the delicate balance between water, air temperature, and surrounding ecosystems.
