Harvesting fog could combat water shortages in world’s driest regions
SOUTH-EAST ASIA (dpa): Harvesting fog could ease water scarcity in the world's driest place, a new study has suggested. In Chile's Atacama Desert, with less annual rainfall than 1 millimetre per year, the main water source is underground water-filled spaces which last recharged between 17,000 and 10,000 years ago.
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 harvesting’ could yield water for drinking and agriculture in the world’s driest regions
In regions where it hardly ever rains, water is valuable, and access to it is unequal. One such place is Alto Hospicio in Chile, located in the hyper-arid Atacama Desert region. Now, researchers have tested if making water from fog could be a solution to the city’s troubled water supply.
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 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.
