Cloud Catchers In Peru
There鈥檚 a simple hack to get water in places where supply is scarce 鈥� and that鈥檚 through catching fog. We find out if this could be a possible solution to the global water crisis.
What can you do if you don鈥檛 have access to running water? No pipes, no wells, no rainfall?
The solution may be to catch water from fog.
We meet Abel Cruz, the Peruvian man behind a huge fog net project which is providing water to a community in the slums of Lima.
Could fog catching be a solution to wider water crises facing the world?
Produced by Tom Colls.
