Therefore be sure to site the collection nets in the middle of the most dense region of fog. If climate change causes the cloud patterns to move, the nets will need to be moved to maximise the area of greatest fog density. |

Faced with a booming population and a combination of glacial retreat and reduced rainfall, the governor of the La Paz region is even contemplating moving people to other parts of Bolivia. Water is already in short supply among the poorest communities and has become a cause of tension. [http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/8394324.stm Glacier Threat to Bolivia Capital]
