Interesting information about the "air well."

I've read that something similiar is done in the Andes Mountains, only it is called "fog farming." Sheets of plastic are staked and the fog passing through every morning condenses underneath.

Cool, huh ?

I had heard they did this sort of thing in the Andes but I didn't know they called it "fog farming". I like it! I'll do a search on it later. Thanks for the ping.

I saw a story a few years ago where they built concrete towers in the desert in Saudi Arabia. At night the air would flow through the towers and moisture would condense on the inside and drip down into a collector. I have always been fascinated by this and wish I could try it out nyself.
