Equipment to collect water from the fog brings hope to places where water is lacking

According to the Daily Telegraph , some places with hot climates in the world are taking advantage of the 'mist collection net' to collect mist, with this method, a large amount of water can be collected daily.

Experts say the system uses multi-hole industrial plastic grids, like volleyball nets, that can capture water droplets from mist, the system will be an effective method to solve for The problem of water shortage is very common today.

A grid of 13 'x 33' size (3.96mx 10.06m), 66 gallons of water (equivalent to 249.84 liters) can be collected each day. The dew is brought into the water trough through the fog collection net, then through the small duct into the container. This water is very clean, no need to go through the filtration system. FogQuest - the charity responsible for the development of this foggy collection network has participated in many projects in South America, Israel, Nepal, Haiti and the Namibia desert.

Recently on the slopes in Peru's Lima grows a lot of mist nets . The capital of Peru and the surrounding mountains have very little rainfall, the people living here have to travel to the Andes glacier a few miles away to get water. But the Andes glacier is gradually shrinking, which is what makes people extremely anxious to face serious water shortages.

While people in other parts of the world are using extremely wasteful water, Lima residents have to buy water for 6 times more than the usual price to buy clean water.

Two German scientists took advantage of the dense fog every winter from the Pacific. This thick foggy weather can be maintained for 8 months. Kai Tiedemann and Anne Lummerich took advantage of many research networks to create a more modern water collection device. Robert Schemenauer, FogQuest chief executive, said: ' Perhaps people who lived in the desert 2000 years ago began to catch the mist from trees. 'He added:' Nowadays, many places in the world need these dew water collection equipment. In the last week East Timor and Kenya were very interested in these devices. '
