In the face of severe drought, scientists have devised an innovative solution: harnessing fog to create drinking water. Fog catchers, large mesh nets positioned in fog-laden areas, capture water droplets and collect them in reservoirs. This water can be treated and made potable, providing essential hydration in arid regions. Fog harvesting has proven particularly effective in coastal areas and mountainous regions where fog is prevalent. It offers an alternative source of water, reducing reliance on dwindling groundwater and pressured water systems. By turning vapor into drinking water, fog catchers provide a sustainable solution to water scarcity, empowering communities to mitigate the impacts of drought.
