Chilean researchers have produce a pilot project that could alleviate this problem. Adopting conventional water system, they have re-devised a centuries old method to capture the water droplets of the fog. In this method, triangular weave polypropylene net are attached to wooden support posts on El Tofo mountain to serve as water collectors. Each of these nets can collect approximately 40 gallons of water each day. When the fog develops, droplets of water are trapped in the nets and join to form larger drop that then fall into a trough
