How long do you think you could survive without drinking any water? Only three to four days! Your body needs water to function properly. We also rely on water for cooking, cleaning and many other activities. You might not think about getting enough water if you can get it easily by turning on your faucet. But what about areas that don't have a reliable water supply? In this activity you will learn about one creative way to collect water—from the air!

Collectively, girls and women worldwide spend an average of 200 million hours every day collecting the water they need from rivers, water holes, or lakes. What if there was a way to capture water from another source—like the air? In areas where there is a lot of fog, a device called a fog catcher makes this possible. Fog catchers use fine meshes to capture and collect water droplets from the foggy air.…
