What is the real environmental impact on changing a dry place into a farming area on a global scale? If they are right and the butterfly affects are real. Then would taking water from the air destined for another religion cause your climate change? I understand that America, china and Russia are some of the worst in changing in local countries rain. But as they say "two wrongs don't make it right" and trying to make America the sole cause of the world's worst climate change producer wrong if the people of other countries are change the climate as well?

As the ambient temperatures cool the atmosphere can hold less water and as a result there is more rainfall increasing the former cycle that humans disrupted. This mythical human construct of yours "butterfly effect" is reduced as sands from the Sahara are less likely to be blown to countries in Europe and elsewhere. Trees and other vegetation also lock down the soils, they also keep the soils cool and moist and reduce evaporation.

It's like a breath of fresh air

This is similar to what they've used in other parts of Africa for millenia. They're called Air Wells and they're just a huge pile of smooth rocks piled on top of an appropriately shaped rock outcrop that channels the water into one spot at its edge. The inner stones are always cooler than the outside ones and any moisture that passes through the rockpile will condense there. Since the rocks are loosely packed the water trickles downward and gets caught by the solid rock underneath it for use.

Trees would have helped to put water into the ground keeping the salt water out of the aquifer. Willow Trees would probably grow there and help bring back the soil as well.

It's a great idea, but it may be limited to a zone close to the coast. You wouldn't see much fog past 50 km inland. Like the west coast of Chile, the west coast of Maroc has consistent onshore winds, blowing over a cold ocean -- ideal conditions for fog generation. I've also seen fog-catchers shaped like 12-foot-high beehives, constructed out of brick and breezeblock, with large cisterns below the hive. That might be cheaper to build than the plastic nets.

I first saw this about redwoods - they do this naturally from the mists coming in on the Californian coasts to the extent that it would be dripping from the leaves and down the trunk. I would expect that they would pull in enough water for other plants around them as well. What they would need to do, is to look for native species that do this, plant them, protect them from firewood harvesting and see what happens next. We could imaging that if all the redwoods got taken out, that the ecosystem would dry out - not because of climate change per se, but that a keystone species was taken out. Did this happen in some places? And can this damage be reversed.

Researchers at The Australian national university has just published a paper showing that thinning out of forrests creates a drying effect and therefore is a major creator of bush or wildfire. Actual proven science. Intact Forrests naturally keep themselves cool and damp. The science is very important to show the culling or thinning out of trees argument by forrestry industry is what makes fire worse, and is used heavily in the US, Australia and around the world. I do think you could then argue that the damaged environment would then also add to climate change and block more efficient carbon sinks. I do believe it is what you are eluding to.

However all the species dependent on the redwoods would die out were that air to be replaced with a dry wind like that that blows across the Sahara because it has so little water that even if it was 100% drained of the little moisture that it carries it's wouldn't be enough to keep grass alive.

Evaporation rates are much higher and faster on deforested land. The land requires the plants and trees to hold the existing moisture like a sponge. Not only living things require water, the land itself will crack and blow away without it

@@iah469 That doesn't change the fact that no matter how many redwoods you plant in the Sahara none will grow.

Except for clear cutting redwoods don't seem to get removed, even forest fires won't kill them. There's no problem regrowing redwoods if you removed all of them, the anti logging activists are fighting to preserve old growth redwoods not worried that they will go extinct. Redwoods can grow in dry climates if they have water.

Humanity working together for the good of all how great.

This is wonderful and I’m so happy for all the people that need it, that now have it. May they all prosper and live free for their children and themselves. Thank GOD that this new technology is available to them and future generations.

great video. I would have loved a small description of the process of capturing water from mesh but I could imagined that as the process is fairly simple but it feel just lacking for me. and I presume the visualization isn't that difficult to show.

That is wonderful. I hope the idea continues to expand in similar areas.

Try relate to reality.. Why do you think Morocco is so poor and inefficient that they it can't even fix running water in their mud huts? Ever heard of something called Islam, and how it hinders any necessary development? 👀😴 🐖💨🧕🏽💩 🤣

I stayed on the top floor of a hotel sitting on one of the hills in foggy San Francisco, in a corner room giving me windows facing east and north! The windows were so dirty, so covered in irregular dust and dirt patterns I called the desk to inquire about how often they clean the windows. For $600 a night (15 years ago) I kind of thought I might be able to see out my windows at night! They had recently washed the windows! The windows get so dirty from the fog! Seems fog holds and carries plenty of dust and other stuff, and it coveres everything with that mixture leaving the solids when the moisture evaporates! I found if I want to look out the windows at night all I had to do was turn the room lights off. The dust film acted as a exterior window shade reflecting the room's light back into the room. Turning the light off allowed me to see through the layer of dust, so I could see the beautiful night cityscape and boats coming into port from overseas. With the lights off the dust layer disappeared allowing me to get wonderful pictures of a big, bright, full moon rising in the east! Completely unexpected; what a surprise! What a lucky happenstance! If I hadn't been fussing over my dirty windows I would have missed it completely! Some of the best pictures I've ever gotten all due to dirty windows from abundant fog.

That is a very good use of human technology helping the world keep it up

Bless you for offering one brilliant moment of hope in a cacophony of darkness.

There are desert beetles that crawl to the tops of dunes, position themselves with heads down, abdomens up in order to capture some of this mist. Small drops of water roll down their bodies to their mouths. Fascinating! 🐞 🐞 🐞

They have nets called beetle nets. Not sure if they got the idea of the shape of the nets from the beetles or not.

personally I once made an application to produce trees and fresh water in Morocco, but we were told a big fat no. you have to stay 5 km from the coastline as that is a protected area for birds. turning salt water into fresh water is not that difficult, but if the government does not want to help, we have started helping other countries. not everyone wants to reason his country. glad to see something positive for humans and animals

We did this as an experiment in middle school back in the 80s, it was pretty neat. Glad that technology finally reached Africa

WOW. Really happy for these people.

Saw this idea on some nature show in the 60s or 70s. Some engineer joined the dots from seeing a large spiderweb holding a large amount of dew. Many desert plants do variations of this.

Ein großes Lob und Danke an die Wasserstiftung 👍

Thank you so much for making this excellent video and posting it here for everyone to see! This is an important aspect of human existence, our ability to improve our environment. We all need to be aware of the fact that there is a choice to be made every day of our existence. We can choose to improve our world or we can choose to be a destructive force. It brings a sense of great joy and satisfaction to choose to be one of those that makes things better.

Great idea

This was really cool! It is really just expanding on what plants evolved to do that live in these fog belts, which are usually covered in trichomes that help catch fog. I cannot imagine that installing these systems would be all that expensive either and that they could have a relatively long useful life.

Hello Catherine

The ancient people of the sahara used a type of netting which causes small droplets attract each other to turn it into pure water. That is right out of history. So nice to see someone used his God given brain to make this happen. WATER IS LIFE, LIFE IS WATER.

Wasn't this putative God the one who made the area so dry? All deities are praised for fixing problems they made. Ever hear of "the problem of evil". People are pretty good at inventing all sorts of things on their own.

The other morning I was out back. And heard water running, turned out to be dew from the roof draining into the rain barrel. I was impressed.

This is really cool engineering.

Very good! This should be done all over the desert to turn it green...!!!

Extremely innovative ❤️

This is the beautiful thing about technology. It allows people more time to focus on economic growth and not just staying alive. Thank Jesus for technology.

I'm glad that we are finally remembering these techniques.... Let's hope this wakes some people up to all the ideas and creative solutions we for some strange reason do not apply to our cities or towns or environment. We have all the knowledge we could possibly need to solve most if not all our survival problems... So ask yourself why you live the way you live and why is there still so much suffering and damage left unchanged?
