Yemen is in crisis. The Middle Eastern country has become a failed state, ravaged by internal war and running out of resources quick, especially water. One resource though that Yemen has a lot of is fog, and the country has now successfully experimented ways to “harvest” moisture from the air to turn into water. Fog harvesting devices are mesh screens that condense fog as it passes through, and can collect at least 40 liters of water each, per day. At $15 per fog screen, Yemen along with the help of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) could conceivably scale up the fog capturing project to help bring water security to the rest of the country.
