Turn fog into water: How these women are using an incredible technique to survive in harsh, dry mountains

In Moroccos drought-hit Anti-Atlas Mountains, women are changing lives by turning fog into clean drinking water. Using giant mesh nets installed across mountain peaks, communities are able to capture moisture from dense Atlantic fog and convert it into a reliable water source. The groundbreaking initiative is helping villages combat severe drought, water scarcity and desertification while reducing the daily burden on women who once spent hours fetching water. Beyond providing sustainable access to safe drinking water, the project has also become a powerful example of women-led climate adaptation and environmental innovation for communities around the world.
