Interesting, and completely logical. Looks promising.

Those crazy Israelis. Always innovating instead of whining about how "bad" a hand they were dealt in the desert.

Many plants take in water thru the upper parts of the plant, and dew has been “watering” a plant like this for many years.

Brawndo! It's Got Electrolytes! It's what plants crave.

The wilderness and the desert will be glad,
and the Arabah will rejoice and blossom.

Like the crocus it will bloom profusely
and rejoice with rejoicing ad shout of joy...

For waters will break forth in the wilderness
and streams in the Arabah.

And scorched land will become a pool
and the thirsty ground springs of water...

Isaiah 35: 1,2,6,7

Not to deride the technolgy, but it looks like any old joe (or Yosef) could get the same effect if he took a large plastic picnic plate and punched a whole in it, cost .08 at Walmart.

Sorry to break it to you, but this is not new technology. So-called “fog collection” systems have been in use for a long time in places like Chile and Croatia.

The water crisis in Israel and throughout the world...

...the "throughout the world" part refers to a great many predominantly Moslem nations, including the Aral Sea basin which has been perhaps irreparably harmed by Soviet "planning"; to northern China (part of the reason for the Three Gorges Dam is to reroute water to a drying-out northern river); most populated islands.

If the world's agriculture were conducted as much as possible with Israeli-developed methods, there's a good chance there'd be no water crisis.
