How Sahara Fog Nets Solve Water Scarcity in Africa

One of the roughest and most severe places on Earth is the Sahara. Sahara is the world's biggest scorching desert, measuring 11 million square kilometers. 2 billion people lack access to clean drinking water, and 60% of people lack running water in their homes. Approximately 40% of the world's population now experiences water shortages.

The Sahara area of southwest Morocco is now supplied with clean drinking water thanks to new, innovative technology that is reversing the trend of water shortage.

In this video, we'll demonstrate how Sahara fog nets create water and life in the African desert.

Due to its unique climate, the southwest of Morocco is a hotspot for indigenous species. The Atlantic Ocean, which this area naturally borders, produces a chilly front of wind and fog.

However, because this region lies in the transitional region of the Sahara Desert, it has severely dry summers and has had a decrease in rainfall over the past several decades. The limits of this area, which were drawn by European invaders in the 19th century, are under question.

Most of the inhabitants of this area are nomadic tribes that depend on commerce and agriculture to survive on huge Western Sahara. It's a common fallacy that deserts can't support life. However, living things have long existed in these conditions and thrived there.

What do you think? Do we need more water creating fog nets worldwide? 🍀💦

these types of accessible technologies need to be implemented more to aid communities that need it, good vid

[droogsurgeon]

I’ve seen videos on this. Cheap and very effective. Puts my faith back in humanity.

I would like to get contact information if possible. I am trying to build a similar system for farms in Tanzania. We are approximately 36 km from the ocean. I would like to capture the moisture from the higher coastal breezes that come over the hilltops around our farms. Thank you for any information.

Also try to plant &grow tall spreading shadows various trees 🌳 suitable for Soil&climate of the regions such as Rajasthani tree (Indian )babool Rohida, khejari gunda ker gond, dates etc.

Excellent video!!! Mankind is definitely capable of fixing things!!! 💧is life ...

I saw a film on a system in South America where else are they using this. Where else could this system be used.

[sheetalbhalerao]

Sahara regions will become be benefited many ways

[macmcleod]

Nice 1 year update. Wonder how it's doing today?

[downtoearth]

I saw this type of netting used in Western South America decades ago

[norbertdx]

Seeing how there's talk of rivers drying up in the USA you'd think this would be a good idea in California. But more likely it wouldn't work for them unless they can find a way to stuff their pockets.

At 0.58 that is Cape Point. Thousands of km away from Morocco.

Innovative Technology for Northern Kenya

That part of Moroccan Sahara has months of heavy fog near coasts, the fog can sustain a big forest of Saharan trees that can capture fog and fix water in soil and maybe bring more rain.

[sheetalbhalerao]

Growing tall trees will create catchment areas for clouds, then pour rainfall in the regions

[sweetsweet]

interesting... recommend you narrate a little slower. whats the impact on insects and birds etc..

[sebastianwrites]

You showed 'exactly' the same images again... in just the first few minutes?

[MrPAULONEAL]

Looks like something the Colorado River could use.

Poor Walter

[DrJohnnyJ]

This is a very expensive solution per liter. An industrial scale solution is required.
