The inspiration for this study comes from living in Al-Baha, often referred to as the City of Fog. I’ve regularly observed water droplets forming on my car in the early mornings, and noticed that local tree leaves are naturally shaped to catch fog, offering a clear sign of nature's potential.
We are now entering the second phase of the project, which involves conducting field experiments to measure the amount of water that can be collected from various fog-rich locations in the region.
This work aims to support sustainable water sourcing in arid, fog-prone areas.
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and feedback!
