A crash course in changing the world.
The University of South Africa is launching another of its fog-harvesting systems in South Africa today, this one in the country's Eastern Cape Province.
The university "has been engaged with a largescale research and development project on fog harvesting as an alternative source of potable water for many isolated rural communities struggling to access pure and clean water. Many of the communities where the research projects have been conducted experience scarce water supply and the villagers travel long distances to fetch it," Gough said in an e-mail to Nat Geo News Watch.
With South Africa already classified as a water-stressed country, Unisa Climatologist Jana Olivier, an associate professor in the UNISA School of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences, launched the fog harvesting research project in half a dozen places in South Africa. http://blogs.nationalgeographic.com/blogs/news/chiefeditor/2010/03/...
