Fog for Rural Water Supply: Challenges, Global Developments and Perspectives in Colombia
Video - FogQuest Presentation in Spanish on Fog Collection for Rural Water Supplies
(video will launch in a new window)
Presented by: José Manuel Molina, FogQuest Resource Coordinator for Colombia and Northern South America
This 30 minute presentation (in Spanish with English subtitles) explores aspects of the planning and development of fog collection projects that use fog as an alternative source of water supply for communities in dry and climate-vulnerable regions1. A summary on selected experiences in Latin America is discussed including research results(2) from fog measurements using Standard Fog Collectors (SFC), fog water quality, role of community involvement, and technology implementation and transfer. In the final comments, the lecturer talks about future perspectives and potential applications of this technology in food security and public health interventions, as well as the social reintegration of people who have been displaced from their homes in Colombia.

Conferencia de FogQuest en Español sobre Colección de Niebla para Suministro Hídrico Rural
Niebla y Neblina para Suministro Hídrico Rural: Retos, Desarrollos Globales y Perspectivas en Colombia
Presentada por: José Manuel Molina, Coordinador de Recursos de FogQuest para Colombia y Norte de Suramérica
Esta charla de 30 minutos de duración explora aspectos relacionados con la planeación y desarrollo de proyectos de captura de niebla que utilizan el agua de niebla o neblina como fuente alternativa de suministro hídrico para comunidades en regiones secas y vulnerables al clima (1). La presentación y discusión abarca un resumen de proyectos seleccionados en América Latina y el Caribe, así como resultados de investigaciones (2) en temas como la medición de nieblas usando el Standard Fog Collector (SFC), la calidad del agua de niebla, el papel de la participación comunitaria, y la transferencia e implementación de esta tecnología. En los comentarios finales, el conferencista habla sobre las perspectivas futuras y aplicaciones potenciales del uso de atrapanieblas en intervenciones de salud pública y seguridad alimentaria, así como en la reintegración social de personas que han sido desplazadas de sus hogares en Colombia.
