Most of all the time we talk
about fog systems, where, how and why we could use it. Yes fogging
system is the best thing for our crops in greenhouses, fogging is the
best way for cooling and etc. Today we want to Show you other side of “FOG”.
You know earth has a problem nowadays which will be the biggest prolem ahead:
“Global Warming”.
Question:
- What
does fogging do to solve the global warming?
- Which
feature of fog playing the big role against the global warming?
Do you know the people who lives
in the arid regions they have only chance to get the fresh water. – We call it
“FOG”
Fogs have the potential to
provide an alternative source of fresh water in dry regions and can be
harvested through the use of simple and low-cost collection systems. Captured
water can then be used for agricultural irrigation and domestic use. Research
suggests that fog collectors work best in locations with frequent fog periods,
such as coastal areas where water can be harvested as fog moves inland driven by
the wind. However, the technology could also potentially supply water in
mountainous areas if the water is present in stratocumulus clouds, at altitudes
of approximately 400 m to 1,200 m (UNEP, 1997b). According to the International
Development Research Centre (1995), in addition to Chile, Peru, and Ecuador,
the areas with the most potential to benefit include the Atlantic coast of
southern Africa (Angola, Namibia), South Africa, Cape Verde, China, Eastern
Yemen, Oman, Mexico, Kenya, and Sri Lanka.
Fog harvesting technology
consists of a single or double layer mesh net supported by two posts rising
from the ground. Mesh panels can vary in size.
The collectors are positioned on ridgelines
perpendicular to prevailing wind and capture and collect water when fog sweeps
through. The number and size of meshes chosen will depend on the local
topography
Note: We also could use it in our
greenhouses. Think about it wouldn't it be nice to use it like water for our
little crops after fogging?
