Fog water collection uses large polypropylene mesh nets on ridges to capture water-loaded fog, which forms in humid months in mountainous regions or coastal areas. The meshes are erected perpendicular to the prevailing wind. The mesh captures small water droplets (1 to 40 μm), which trickle into a collection trough or gutter and drain into a series of tanks. Trees and grass intercept fog in a similar way.
