Fog Collection As Sustainable Water Source
paulproteus writes: "Space.com has a new article up called 'Fog Collector.' It describes a $450 polypropylene net that is used to gather fog, and convert it into drinkable water. 'Fans of science fiction will recognize this idea from Dune.' The nets 'have replaced and surpassed the thready life vein of truckloads of water that once sustained a village near the Atacama Desert in northern Chile.' The article also describes the second International Conference on Fog and Fog Collection."
