Yesterday on National Public Radio, there was an interview with a Canadian scientist who has
successfully put together "fog machines" that condense fog into usable rainwater. I know we reference
Chile, but I don't think we talk about how it's done. It's a tough, water soluble cloth or cloth mesh 20' x
40' with high tensile strength poles because of the potential for wind damage. These are mounted with the
cloth enough off the ground that gutter like trays or tubs are put underneath. The cloth collects the
droplets, and the droplets collect in enough mass to drop into the gutters as water. No electricity needed.
I can't remember the name of the scientist. Since it was on NPR yesterday, there may be reference to this
on their website.
