Fog nets used to capture water from rain and fog are a
developmental initiative in practice in the Eastern Cape of
South Africa. Fog forms when water vapour cools down and
condenses to form tiny water droplets in the atmosphere. Apart
from altitude, there is not much difference between clouds and
fog. Fog formation is, however, directly affected by near-
surface conditions, adiabatic cooling and flow patterns in the
atmosphere. Fog collects on the nets and runs down into a tank.
Many locations are suitable for fog water collection. Frequent
fog episodes even appear in extremely dry regions, or high
altitude mountains, where clean drinking water is not always
accessible. Fog water may serve as an additional source of
water, which in turn, may contribute significantly to the
quality of life. South Africa — This feature shows the
