Abstract

Fog harvesting is a sustainable, simple and cost-effective technique to collect water from the air. Clean, safe and drinkable water resources are created by installing this fog harvesting apparatus in deserts, in arid regions and in countries with high population density. Here we review principles and recent developments in fog harvesting.
