Now, researchers say that fog water can be a practical supplement to stave off water stress for larger desert cities. A yearlong assessment of the potential volume of harvested fog water near a ...

For one, if a region gets rain, that volume of water is much higher than what can be extracted from fog, and communities can store that rainfall in reservoirs. Fog collection also requires ...

That is why a new study in Frontiers in Environmental Science assessing the potential for fog harvesting in one of the ...

Fog is a cheap and abundant source of fresh water, especially in remote dry regions. And it also has great potential for cities. How does fog collection work, and where it is already being used?

Fog harvesting is a sustainable ... to yield 300,000 liters a week–the same volume of water currently delivered via truck to Alto Hospicio’s informal settlements each week.

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 ...

Now, local researchers have assessed if "fog harvesting," a method where fog water is collected and saved, is a feasible way to provide the residents of informal settlements with much needed water.

So why haven’t cities expanded their use? For one, if a region gets rain, that volume of water is much higher than what can be extracted from fog, and communities can store that rainfall in ...

But what it does get in abundance, and for six months of the year, is dense fog sweeping in from the nearby Atlantic Ocean. While it might restrict visibility, this misty mass also provides a solution ...
