FogQuest is an innovative, international, non-governmental, non-profit organization. It is a registered charity in Canada. Our water projects are for small rural communities in the most arid parts of the world. Even in locations with little or no rain, there are often fog-covered hills that can be a source of clean water for the people. We work with the communities and local NGOs to develop projects that are appropriate to the environment, and the culture and religion of the people. The large fog collectors require no energy source. The fog droplets are carried to the mesh of the collectors by the wind. The water that is produced flows by gravity to the community. Because fog, and rain when it occurs, are almost entirely free of harmful bacteria, the fog collection system is also a good alternative in places where the ground water supply is contaminated. Twenty large fog collectors can provide water for a village of 200 people. The cost is low, only about $1 for 1000 liters of water.
