High in Morocco’s dry Anti-Atlas Mountains, an extraordinary project is showing the world how communities can literally turn fog into water. In villages near the edge of the Sahara Desert, where drought and water shortages have become a harsh part of daily life, women are now collecting drinking water straight from clouds passing over the mountains.
For years, families in this region struggled with disappearing wells, extreme heat and worsening desertification. Women and children often spent hours every day walking long distances just to fetch water. Today, thanks to a remarkable fog-harvesting system, many villages can now turn fog into water using giant mesh nets installed across mountain ridges.
