Evaporative cooling has several drawbacks. Firstly, it is not suitable for humid climates, as the air is already saturated with moisture and the cooling effect will be minimal. Secondly, it requires a large amount of water to operate, which can be costly and unsustainable in some areas. Additionally, the system can be prone to mold and mildew growth, which can be difficult to control and can cause health problems. Finally, evaporative cooling systems are not as efficient as other cooling systems, such as air conditioners, and can be more expensive to install and maintain.
