Chile has been investigating fog capture since the 1950s. The dense fog that arises from the Humboldt current, called the camanchaca, can be harvested with the help of a coastal mountain range and strong winds. Earlier attempts to turn the mist into usable water failed. In 1990 fog nets at Chungungo, a fishing village north of Los Tomes, captured 8,000 litres a day. Villagers argued about how to share responsibility for maintaining the atrapanieblas.
Climate change, which is expected to decrease rainfall in the region, has spurred a new quest for unconventional sources of water. The project at Los Tomes is part of an attempt to revive fog capture by encouraging better governance. A government development fund has put up cash. A team from the Catholic University of the North (UCN) sought out agricultural co-operatives whose members have shown that they can work together. “The question is not whether the fog collectors work but who’s going to provide and maintain them,” says Daniela Henríquez, a sociologist who leads the UCN team.

... čuj, če mene kaj vprašaš, sta vidva s Črtom malo zalutala, ker sta pozabila, da sta tota dva majstra iz Vrhnike obljubila, da bo njun novi vir vode prebivalcem zagotavljal neoporečno pitno vodo po vsem svetu vsak dan, kjerkoli in kadarkoli in da ciljata predvsem na države Bližnjega vzhoda, Azijo in Afriko, kjer je je zaradi kot poper suhega zraka megla še bolj redka dobrina kot podtalnica ... alzo, na ekonomsko upravičeno uporabnost megle za pridobivanje pitne vode lahko pozabita, ker je Čile geografsko unikatna država, ki je podobne ni nikjer drugje na svetu ...

P.S.: ker sem tudi njegova "žrtev", sem opazil, da je Črt spet začel pisat na toti forum, kar je koristna popestritev, čeprav ga kot tovariš najobjestnejši ne morem brat, če ga kdo ne citira ...
