Can ‘fog harvesting’ help solve water scarcity in Chile’s Atacama Desert?
In the Atacama Desert, communities are exploring 'fog harvesting' as an innovative solution to address water scarcity, given the region's extreme aridity and minimal rainfall. This method, which captures moisture from fog, could provide a sustainable water source for rural populations while enhancing resilience to climate change. Policymakers and activists should consider supporting the implementation of fog harvesting technology to improve water availability in these vulnerable communities.
