One of the driest places in the world is Chile's Atacama Desert. It receives less than a millimeter of rainfall per year. The main water source of the region's cities is underground rock layers ...

Now, local researchers have assessed if "fog harvesting," a method where fog water is collected and saved, is a feasible way to provide the residents of informal settlements with much needed water.

Capturing water from fog - on a large scale - could provide some of the driest cities in the world with drinking water. This is what researchers in Chile have concluded after studying the ...
