In some parts of the Sahara they only get about 12 to 13cm per year of rainfall but they have a lot of fog.
A German experiment is going on where mesh vertical walls (like a heavy duty fly screen) capture the fog, which drips downward as water, and is collected in receptacles. Mesh walls with mostly vertical wires seem to be the most efficient. If the walls are electrically charged they suck more water toward them.
Maybe this clever idea is another way for us to fuck the planet by sucking the water out of the air.
If we really want to get a grip on saving the planet we have to sterilise all babies at birth and make ourselves extinct. Happy New Year!
