TL;DR Summary

In Kenya, where water scarcity is a major issue due to drought and failed rainy seasons, locals are finding innovative ways to harvest water from fog and air. Traditional methods involve collecting water droplets that condense on trees during the night, while newer technologies use fans to suck in moisture-filled air and condense it into drinkable water. Fog harvesting projects have been implemented in various countries, but the reliability of fog as a water source is affected by climate change. These methods provide a decentralized water source and offer hope in regions where traditional water sources are scarce or unreliable.
