Chile: The 350 residents of the mountainous village of
Chungungo used an old tanker truck to haul drinking water from a
town 50km away. A simple system of 75 fog-water collectors now
supplies the village with 11,000 litres/day of clean drinking water:
Ecuador: Pachamama Grande is a village of 100 isolated on
a small plateau 12,000 feet up in the Andes Mountains. Canadian
scientists solved their long-standing drinking water problem by
designing a set of fog-catching sails that convert evening mountain
mist into abundant supplies of safe drinking water.
