Researchers may have just found a way to establish a renewable water resource in one of the driest places in the world. Using pieces of mesh, these fog-harvesting machines collect water droplets and ...

Freshly revealed at Minecraft Live, a major new graphical update is on the way to Minecraft, titled "Vibrant Visuals."This ...

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 ...

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 fog collection works and where it is already being used.

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.

As the wind flows by, the mesh collects the fog's moisture, which drips into a gutter placed below the sheet. The water can then be used for irrigation or filtered for direct consumption.

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?

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 ...
