Evaluation of fog collection in jordan

Abstract

Water-supply augmentation along with supply and demand management in Jordan have been considered to meet the water demand. This paper evaluates the feasibility of fog collection in Jordan using various low-cost materials. Experiments were conducted using four standard fog collectors with different local materials. An analysis of fog-collection effectiveness was carried out and compared with international experience, and showed that local sacking material was the most effective. Recommendations for applying this technique are outlined. © 1999 Wiley. All rights reserved.
