How morning fog could be vital water source in world’s driest desert
Learn how fog collection can help mitigate water shortage in Alto Hospicio, providing vital resources to underserved communities.
Fog Harvesting Is Making It Possible To Get Water In One Of The Driest Places In The World: The Atacama Desert
One of the driest places in the world is Chile’s Atacama Desert. It receives less than a millimeter of rainfall […]
Fog harvesting could ease water shortages in the world’s driest places
Fog harvesting may provide a crucial water source for people living in some of the planet’s driest regions. By capturing moisture from passing fog, this technique gathers droplets and channels them into storage, potentially easing shortages for those who have little or no connection to traditional water infrastructures.
Fog harvesting can solve water crisis in arid cities, says Chile scientists
Fog harvesting is a relatively simple process. Mesh panels are hung between poles, and as moisture-laden clouds pass through the mesh, water droplets form and are channelled into pipes and storage tan
Fog harvesting could provide water for arid cities
Capturing water from fog - on a large scale - could provide some of the driest cities in the world with drinking water. This is what researchers in Chile have concluded after studying the potential of fog harvesting in the desert city of Alto Hospicio in the north of the country.
Fog harvesting could be the answer for water-starved cities around the world
As cities grow, so does their demand for water, often surpassing the capacity of traditional sources. Many fast-expanding urban areas in dry regions struggle to supply their residents with enough clean water.
Fog collection could alleviate water stress in desert cities
Water harvesting from foggy air provided up to 5 liters of water a day in a yearlong Chilean desert experiment.
'Fog harvesting' could yield water for drinking and agriculture in the world's driest regions
With less annual rainfall than 1 mm per year, Chile's Atacama Desert is one of the driest places in the world. The main water source of cities in the region are underground rock layers that contain water-filled pore spaces which last recharged between 17,
