Benefits: In rural or peri-urban areas, it is recurrent to have to recover water to be able to irrigate or minimize potable water uses. We present an original but efficient technique that is widely used in Peru and has also been implemented in Quito. It involves fog catchers that transform fog into droplets that are recovered thanks to geotextile screens. Simple and economical solution for areas exposed to fog. Design and implementation: The system consists of a water catchment, composed of geotextile screens of 5 to 8m2 each, connected by a set of pipes to a water tank that feeds the beneficiaries. The panels are sized according to the need for water and the space available on site. Economical and easy to implement systems; an efficient option to take advantage of natural resources.
