CloudFisher
German company designs 'fog catchers' to obtain drinkable water from fog
In dry mountainous and coastal regions with high fog concentration, the CloudFisher collects water from fog and provides hundreds of thousands of people with a secure supply of drinking water.
The CloudFisher is the first standard fog collector that can withstand high wind speeds. It is quick and easy to install, and requires no energy and only minimal maintenance. All the materials are food-safe. The CloudFisher can supply people with high-quality drinking water that meets WHO standards, and can also provide water for agriculture and forestry. It is mainly deployed in mountainous and coastal regions where rainfall is scarce but clouds and fog are plentiful.
