      What they are doing is much more efficient and clearly much easier to collect the water from the mesh than from leaves or pine needles.
      Plus, with the mesh collectors they can direct the water to anywhere and used it for multiple things.
      If you used just trees then you end up with large trees that you cannot really collect enough water from and those trees don't collect enough to feed themselves else they would already have populated the very place where they are doing the fog mining for water.

      None. In fact, desertification was caused by the change in the inclination of the earth, which caused the northern hemisphere to cool down. In fact that is the reason why the Sahara arose. The northern hemisphere received 7% more energy from the sun, which caused the air currents with water vapor from the Atlantic to go inland. As the temperature and therefore the amount of steam in the Atlantic air decreased, the currents reversed, taking the hot air from Africa towards the sea, causing progressive desertification. So no, it wasn't humanity that did it.

      Big fan of trees, but I'm not sold on mass planting of trees. They tried something like that near me and most died. Better to start building in biodiversity and the trees will come naturally. You can even start cutting back young trees to give competitive advantage to a particular tree. Especially where there are many young trees in a small area, just pick a few keepers that are spread out and cut back the rest.

    The Romans used to build "dry wells" in critical areas. At night, cool dark air sinks into the dry well, condensed on the stone sides, and dropped as water to the bottom. Given long enough, the well filled up. These were emergency water stores for military use.

    Ancient way of collecting water. Been doing it in Chille for years. Good idea

  • @elguapodelmonte215
    @elguapodelmonte215 2 года назад +51

    I've seen this method before, of collecting the condensation through some type of "mesh material", usually near a
    mountainous terrain, apparently used in Chile and other places, it should for sure start to be used in some parts of
    Spain that are currently experiencing "drought" and bush-fires, as the lower rainfall makes it a higher risk for fires.
    In the example shown in Gran Canaria, they have what can be called a complete water collection, with all the meshes
    collecting the dew, and then it drips into the pipes or conduits, and are then collected in those 1000 liter tanks, it's a
    brilliant idea, but the entire system would be costly, with the plumbing, tanks, electrical gauges, transport to collect
    the tanks, plus any other costs. It is ideal for some situations that face drastic water shortages, while other places
    a cheaper and easier way of "bringing water and moisture into the environment" can be installed.
    In some places where they are trying to "regenerate" the forests and trees that once stood, but have been reduced
    through "bad practices", water shortages, droughts, blights, funguses, diseases, wildfires, soil erosion, introduced
    pests that ravage the natural landscape, the gradual "deforestation" that has occurred in many places, whether by
    accident or by design, sometimes some people and some cultures seemingly and willingly destroy the environment
    either for quick profits, or to make the surrounding lands "undesirable" for people to visit and stay there long-term,
    they purposely deforest the environment, so that there are no natural resources, there are no places to visit, hang out,
    go fishing, go hunting, go bush walking, not even any places to sit under a tree and get some shade, there's nothing
    there that makes it interesting, that is their aim, it is an extremely small mind-set, that thinks by creating a barren
    landscape, they themselves will then become more powerful, as all natural resources have been decimated, the only
    resources that are left, are man-made resources, which those responsible for the "environmental cull" hope to be
    snug as a bug in a rug, in a place that has shade, and they will proclaim themselves "the monopoly of resources"
    Without an over-explanation about this type of water collection system, I personally think it is perfect, as they say in
    the doco, the meshes, the "square nets" that collect the water, are effectively mimicking the trees themselves that
    use a similar method, collecting the water through it's leaves or needles, after water droplets falling onto the ground,
    which the trees use for watering. The "mesh nets" should be installed, by themselves everywhere that needs some
    more water, moisture into the atmosphere, into the ground, and the water droplets then water the "planted trees and
    seedlings", without all the other costs of the water collection, just the "meshes" with the new planted trees, which can
    afterwards do the job of the meshes. The "ecosystems" of Mountains, and Forests are quite delicate, they are like a
    "chain" of natural phenomenons, when one part of the cycle, when one link of the chain is broken, the whole ecosystem
    breaks down, and then you start the "desertification" process, sometimes human intervention is needed to reverse this
    process, just like human intervention, started the process. Everyone that lives in an area that is prone to droughts, or a
    drying landscape, should be looking at "horizontal precipitation" - it will bring "vertical vegetation"

      I think as long as the water is used for regenerative efforts like those seen here, then crack on. My biggest concern is that everyone jumps on these collection methods where and when they don't need to, or in geographic areas which would definitely benefit from it, but keep the water for themselves/profit. It's screwing over the future in the same way that pollution now is screwing over the climate future. If you suck up all the moisture from the air, you're messing with the hydrological cycle.

      @@brymstoner I wondered about this last time I came across this concept of condensation as a way to collect moisture in air. There are some ancient aquaducts found in both South America and in Egypt that people used piles of stones to collect water that would trickle down the inside walls. I wonder theoretically how much water the atmosphere can hold and what level of extraction humans would have to do to really make a difference. Clearly, humans will cause negative impact when doing anything at a large enough scale. Maybe its not about finding one alternative to go all in on, but rather use various methods of water collection so as to not over extract from any single source and disrupt the vulnerable balance.

      most people look at, for example, lost tribes and think what a backward people; still living in mud huts or have simple ways, etc. simple though their ways may be, they certainly aren't motivated by capitalism and greed when it comes to their resources. the expression "it takes a village" exists for good reason. we'd all, society as a whole, do good to revisit and better understand and appreciate this expression right now more than ever.
      it's not too late to get the balance back on track. when we all went into the first global lockdown, the planet could breathe again. short-lived though it was, we had a cracking few properly weathered seasons. briefly. then the roads and waterways began repopulating and the pollution began bellowing back into the skies. now it feels like we're putting out more pollution than before the pandemic. what followed and is still happening was a series of environmental catastrophes. floods, wildfires, droughts, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, glaciers receding and altogether disappearing faster than ever.
      as outlandish as it sounds, we honestly might stand a better chance of moving to space (earth orbit), the moon and/or mars at this point. just to save the planet from dying.

      The problem with this system is that it takes water out of the air, and that water is then not available further downwind. That means that you are only moving the desertification downwind. Further, these systems are so efficient at removing water from air that the dry area downwind is much larger and mch dryer, leading to increased and more intense wildfires which burn much more quickly through much larger areas. Not exactly what California needs.
      Take a look at the video again, and notice how the trees downwind from the collectors are a lighter colour of green, yellowish, or in some cases outright dead, as compared to the trees upwind and to the sides.
      Really the only solution to climate change is to reduce and then maintain family sizes until our population is greatly reduced. Increasing our population will only lead to worsening problems of desertification and climate change.

      This technology as a principle has been known to man for many hundred years. The first documented large scale modern fog collector dates back to 1969 - more than 50 years ago. So the reason it is not widespread is not the "newness" of the technology but the limited places on earth where it is possible to collect enough water reliably. Yes, you might collect 160 liters in one day under optimal conditions, but that does not help if this only occurs once every 10 years. Its the monthly average that really counts.
      That said, fog collection is one of the better "re-invented" technologies for water harvesting. If you have the right location. It is cheap, and can produce usable quantities of water consistently. But most places with a lot of fog also have a lot of rain. And with enough rain, fog collection is pointless. But in the few places on earth with regular fog and little rain it is excellent. In other places dew condensation nets can also be beneficial, but with a much lower yield than fog.

We need to drastically reduce our population (preferably by reducing our reproduction rather than killing each other), or the planet will reduce it for us, possibly to extinction. I don't hold out a lot of hope. I suspect that we are not evolved enough to do it. I suspect that the majority of the population is incapable of understanding what the problems are, and that even those who are, do not have the self control it takes to reproduce only enough to simply replace themselves and no more, not to mention not reproducing less than enough to replace themselves. My life is nearly at its end, so I will not have to suffer through the worst of it. I left no children behind, so I will not have to worry about their futures and the futures of their offspring. I will therefore take my leave of life knowing that I did what I could, and that I left no one to suffer. Still, I feel great sorrow for all the people and animals which will have to experience it.

    This method should be used where ever this is a substantial amount of fog to be captured. It is already being used in many parts of the Central and South America coast where fog regularly comes in every day. It's an ingenious way of capturing water and it doesn't affect ground water or require pumping water from underground. I think it can be one of many solutions to Spain's water crisis. On top of planting many millions of trees as well as other types of conservation. Including reducing the use of water in landscaping, planting less water intensive garden plants in residential areas and hotels. They could also plant trees and shrubs using the Goasis box (look it up on RUclips). There are many ways of reducing water use and harvesting water that doesn't affect river or ground water. We, as humans, just need to stop being so lazy.

      These nets imo are the seeds if water that kickstart the rest if the system.

    Magnet Roller - A Simple Solution for Desert Sand and Magnetic Particles
    The Magnet Roller is a mechanical device that operates without external energy sources such as electricity or fuel. It is based on a simple, robust, and low-maintenance design, enabling anyone to extract magnetic particles, like iron dust, from sand or soil. This innovation could be groundbreaking, especially in desert regions or areas rich in magnetic minerals.
    Structure of the Magnet Roller
    Base Frame:
    The roller consists of an axle housed within a stable frame.
    The frame is either portable (for smaller models) or mounted on wheels (for covering larger areas).
    Magnetic Axle:
    Permanent magnets or electromagnets are embedded in the axle.
    These generate a strong magnetic field to attract magnetic particles from the sand.
    Rotational Mechanism:
    As the roller is pushed or pulled, the magnetic axle rotates automatically.
    This rotation ensures the collected particles are dislodged from the axle and deposited into a collection container.
    Collection System:
    A simple container beneath or behind the axle gathers the magnetic particles.
    The container can be emptied regularly for reuse or processing.
    Applications
    1. Sand Purification:
    The Magnet Roller can extract iron and other magnetic particles from sand, leaving behind purified sand suitable for construction or other uses.
    2. Resource Extraction:
    The extracted particles can be processed or sold as raw materials, offering a potential source of income for people in economically underdeveloped areas.
    3. Environmental Protection:
    Removing iron and metal particles from the soil can improve the local ecosystem and potentially aid in reclaiming desert lands. Cleaned soil provides better conditions for agriculture and vegetation.
    4. Mobility and Accessibility:
    The Magnet Roller is designed for easy transport. Its straightforward handling and durability make it ideal for use in remote regions with minimal infrastructure.
    Optimal Goal
    The long-term goal of the Magnet Roller is to provide people in desert and developing regions with an affordable technology to actively improve their surroundings while creating economic opportunities. With widespread use, the Magnet Roller could even contribute to reclaiming agricultural land lost to sand and barren soil.
    Construction Guidelines
    The Magnet Roller can be made from simple materials like steel, aluminum, and commercially available magnets.
    An ideal model should be easy to repair and adaptable to local conditions.
    Open Access
    The Magnet Roller technology will be open-source, allowing anyone to replicate or improve upon it. The aim is to spark a global movement promoting sustainability and economic independence.

    • @Chompchompyerded
      @Chompchompyerded 2 года назад +1

      They tell you that the answer is "no", but actually that is only for the trees the collectors service. The collectors are very efficient at removing water from the atmosphere, and that leaves a drought shadow downwind. Basically all they do is change where the areas of drought and desertification are. You can see the start of this in the video. If you look at the areas immediately downwind of the collectors, you'll see that the trees are a lighter colour, or yellowish, or sometimes even dead, when compared to the trees upwind or to the side of them. That's because they are not getting enough water. All this system does is take water from one place and put it in another. In a way, it's no different than taking water from streams and rivers and moving it to another place. In the long run, the streams and rivers will remain dry, and the areas behind the collectors will dry up too. Often times the solution is worse than the problem.

      Reforestation efforts should target the upwind side of an area that is at risk of desertification,. That usually means at a coastline, but mountains are a large factor too. The reason why is if you improve water cycle conditions there, more plant mass will come. The increased transpiration of plants there puts more water vapor in the air to be blown downwind where some of it will fall as preciptation or condense on cool surfaces uphill. Then the water flows back downhill, improving conditions for life all along the way.
      The trick is, once an area has been stripped of plant life, it begins eroding, in time, the remaining soil is no longer habitable for most plants. So, import what is needed for nitrogen fixing plants to reproduce, create small pockets of good soil, build a swale to keep water avalable to that pocket long enough that the plants can make it back around to viable seed, Keep the goats out of it and it will expand on it's own.
      Reforestation appears to me to be the ONLY solution to increases in weather extremes. And if we dont make it unnecessarily complicated, it is cheap to reforest. We just need to pay a relatively small percentage of the human population to either manage a plant nursery, distribute seedlings, or take care of the forests and teach many how to make a living without goats.

      Physical weathering: This is the disintegration of rocks into smaller particles with no alteration in their molecular structure. Air and water are agents of physical weathering. Windblown on rocks, heavy downpour of rain, water waves from the sea can facilitate a gradual fragmentation of rock particles to sediments which eventually become soil.
      Chemical weathering: In chemical weathering chemical reactions within rocks create changes in their mineral composition. Examples of chemical reactions leading to weathering are hydrolysis, carbonation, oxidation and hydration.
      • Hydrolysis: hydrolysis occurs as rain water seeps through rocks and the hydrogen ion (H+) in water reacts with metallic ions in rocks resulting in dissolution of rock minerals.
      • Carbonation: During carbonation carbon dioxide from the air and from living organisms dissolve in water to form carbonic acid. This acidifies water in rocks leading to further chemical reaction with rock minerals.
      • Oxidation: in oxidation oxygen from the air reacts with iron in rocks to form iron oxides. This reaction creates a rusty brown colouration on rocks.
      Biological weathering: In this process biological organisms facilitate rock fragmentation. Tree roots and mosses grow or penetrate through rocks and create pore spaces which gradually pull rocks apart. Animals burrow through rocks and create disintegration. Micro organisms like lichen (a symbiotic relationship between fungi and algae) release chemicals which break down rock minerals.
      Additionally check dams, bunds, swales, bioswales, other rainwater harvesting earthworks and techniques build soil by preventing it washing away.

    Do we know how this will affect weather and climate if a lot of places do this on large scale??

    glad to see some of these guys putting up trees and green around their water veins. will help hold in some of the moisture and still allow some moisture to reach areas that are now being denied.

    Does this deplete the fog to the point where it will harm vegetation in the immediate area?

      No that doesn't happen I spoke to a fog net scientist at university and he said that there is plenty of fog these nets cannot take it all

      Yes, here in Chile, for instance, for the last 40 years, at least.

    These fog collectors should be heavily funded and established in all suitable areas across the globe, there really usnt any negative aspect to it

    The Sahara is not formed due to climate change but through differences in the tilt of the earth towards the sun

      You are just saying something in reverse. The tilt of the earth towards the sun causes climate change in different regions of the earth. Climate change is real, the impact of humans upon climate change is probably minimal.

    How do you go from 160 liter per day, to 18.200.000 annually?
    160*18*365 = 1.051.200

    My question is why not use stainless steel mesh? It lasts forever even when wet and will not shed micro plastics or chemicals into the water. Yes it’s heavier, but I’d think the positive outweigh the negative.

      I mean seriously I just did a two minute google search and found like a dozen companies that make fine woven stainless steel mesh and the equipment needed to mount it.
