I WONDER - Is Fog Useful?

The video discusses how some regions in the world are very dry, making it difficult to find drinking water. In Peru, an innovative method has been developed to collect water from fog using large nets. These nets capture mist, allowing water droplets to form and eventually fall, where they can be collected. This clever technique provides a sustainable solution to water scarcity in dry areas.

What challenge do very dry regions around the world face?

• Abundance of vegetation

• Difficulty in finding drinking water

• Excessive rainfall

• Lack of sunlight

What innovative solution has Peru found to address water scarcity?

• Collecting water from fog

• Drilling deep wells

• Importing water from other countries

• Desalination of seawater

What is used in Peru to collect water from fog?

• Large nets

• Wind turbines

• Solar panels

• Rain barrels

How does the fog collection process work?

• Fog is heated to produce steam

• Mist is blown through nets where water collects

• Fog is condensed using cold surfaces

• Fog is chemically treated to extract water

What happens to the water collected on the nets?

• It is used to irrigate nearby fields

• It evaporates back into the air

• It is stored in tanks above the nets

• It forms droplets that fall and are collected
