Description
Summary:An innovative fog trap design has been developed as an alternative source of collection, storage and water supply, based on a sustainable design using a low installation cost structure, which allows without exhausting resources or incurring economic and consumption expenses. energy, greater capacity to capture fog during the day, resulting in the availability of more water to be used, adding the possibility of displacement and implementing materials that increase the useful life period resistant to air currents. The project is applied in a region of great agricultural potential that suffers economically due to the long periods of drought limiting the food security of the country. The use of fog through a low-cost mechanism that will help farmers, increasing the possibility of production in the dry season, reducing losses and guaranteeing a direct and indirect benefit for the population residing in rural areas or in cities.
