  2. Fog collection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fog_collection

    Fog collection is the harvesting of water from fog using large pieces of vertical mesh netting to induce the fog-droplets to flow down towards a trough below. The setup is known as a fog fence , fog collector or fog net .

  3. Atmospheric water generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_water_generator

    State-of-the-art AWG for home use. An atmospheric water generator (AWG), is a device that extracts water from humid ambient air, producing potable water. Water vapor in the air can be extracted either by condensation - cooling the air below its dew point, exposing the air to desiccants, using membranes that only pass water vapor, collecting fog, [1] or pressurizing the air.

  4. Garúa - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garúa

    In a water-scarce desert land, water is being captured from the moisture-laden garúa. In Chile, in 1985, scientists devised a fog collection system of polyolefin netting to capture the water droplets in the fog to produce running water for villages in these otherwise desert areas. The Camanchacas Project installed 50 large fog-collecting nets ...

    #19 Water Collection The Stenocara beetle is a master water collector. The small black bug lives in a harsh, dry desert environment and can survive thanks to the unique design of its shell.

  6. Fog drip - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fog_drip

    Drops of water collecting on branches during fog. Fog drip is water dripping to the ground during fog. It occurs when water droplets from the fog adhere to the needles or leaves of trees or other objects, coalesce into larger drops and then drop to the ground. [1] Fog drip can be an important source of moisture in areas of low rainfall, or in ...

    Surface water flooding is especially dangerous for cities with a high proportion of impervious soil coverage and hard surfaces—such as roads and parking lots—that prevent rainwater from being ...

  8. Camanchaca - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camanchaca

    In 1985, scientists devised a fog collection system of polyolefin netting to capture the water droplets in the fog to produce running water for villages in these otherwise desert areas. The Camanchacas Project installed 50 large fog-collecting nets on a mountain ridge, which capture some 2% of the water in the fog. [2]

  9. Air well (condenser) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_well_(condenser)

    It is distinct from fog, in that fog is made of droplets of water that condense around particles in the air. [4] Condensation releases latent heat which must be dissipated in order for water collection to continue. [5] An air well requires moisture from the air. Everywhere on Earth, even in deserts, the surrounding atmosphere contains at least ...
