MIT's Fog Harvester Is a Better Way To Get Water From Thin Air

Fog harvesting systems--giant nets that collect and funnel billions of tiny drops of water into a reservoir--are already in use in parts of the world where rainfall is rare. But researchers at MIT, working with experts from the Pontifical Catholic University in Santiago, Chile, have found a way to vastly improve those nets, increasing the amount of water they collect by as much as five fold.
