 Peru converting fog into potable water.

Some of the places in Peru have dense fog. They don’t have water and sewer service including drinking water.

With the help of fog catchers they are turning fog into water.

The community created a fog catching system. It is comprised of Nylon net that captures micro drops of water from surrounding fog.

Wind drags all the tiny drops of water in the fog and it bumps into net and net starts to condense them because of their weight they start to fall into desired channel and then to container.

Around 30000 people are taking advantage of this system in Peru as one fog catcher captures 20,000 to 30,000 liters of water a day.

Installing filters in fog captures and it makes water useful for human consumption.

Save water. Save lives.
