Fog Farming Yields Water in Arid Regions
Fog nets capture water vapour, aiding communities in dry climates.
Fog farming uses mesh nets to capture water droplets from fog in arid regions like Chile’s Atacama Desert and Morocco.
Nets, 12 x 4 meters, collect between 2–100 litres a day per square meter, depending on fog density.
Morocco’s CloudFisher produces up to 36,000 litres a day for 800 residents. The method supports drinking water and irrigation, offering a low-cost solution for water-scarce areas.
