Fog Harvesting is need of the time as fog harvesting is a wonderful method of collecting water droplets found in the light or dense coastal wind, fog and rain.
This wonderful and simple method is typically used in desert or costal areas where there is a high probability of rain and fog especially in winters.
Morocco has successfully installed such Fog harvesters to attain clean water from rain, coastal wind and fog. Such technology is highly beneficial for the people in areas that area facing serious clear water scarcity.
Clean drinking water is a basic necessity of not only human beings but also the animals and plants. To fulfill this basic need such for harvesters are the simple and viable solution.
In fog harvesting technology, a large net of wires is used that may be knitted with diffident textures and usually 1 meter net condenses and stores up to 4-6 liters of water in a single foggy night.
However, the amount of condensed water depends upon the knitting structure and number of layers of wires used in the net.
Studies show that more complex net structure and multiple layers of the net help to condense more water.
The several years of research and experimentation has shown that this method of generating clean water is sustainable, viable, easy and resource-saving.
The CloudFisher guarantees that this process produces high-quality drinking water that meets WHO standards at low cost for countless people.
The extracted water from fog nets can also be used for livestock breeding, in agriculture, reforestation projects and also the commercial purposes.
Where can the fog harvesters be installed?
Possible areas of application for the CloudFisher are dry mountain and coastal regions with high fog and wind occurrence, such as in Ethiopia, Australia, Chile, Eritrea, Iran, Colombia, Morocco, Namibia, Nepal, North America, Oman, Peru, Spain, South Africa, Tanzania or Yemen.
How do fog nets work?
The wind pushes the fog through the vertical net. The smallest droplets stick to the special fabric and unite to form large drops. These run down into the collection channel due to gravity. From there, the fog water flows through pipes into a reservoir.
How productive are the fog harvesters?
Depending on the used net structure, region and season, the daily water yield is between 6 and 22 liters per square meter of net. This is the reason that the Fog Harvesting is need of the time.
Moreover, this method can be highly beneficial in saving rain waters especially in during the monsoon seasons in Pakistan and India.
Depending on its purity, the rainwater obtained can be used as drinking water or for agriculture and watering livestock.
Every fog project begins with meteorological data collection on wind speed and direction, relative humidity and temperature, precipitation and the amount of water collected.
These findings are used to decide whether the location is worthwhile for producing water from fog and how the collectors will be optimally aligned with the wind.
