Read the following text.
In recent years, climatic
phenomena such as El Niño and La Niña have increased the lack of water in
several countries. Fog catchers are nets between two wooden poles that capture
water without polluting the environment.
Scientists are starting to think that fog catchers can help us collect
water in an efficient way. They are especially effective in deserts, mountains
and other places that have a lot of fog.
In the Atacama Desert in Chile, fog catchers are used for water supply and agriculture with wonderful
results. A team of engineers from the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is working to improve fog
catchers. Scientists believe that,
because they are easy to assemble and effective, fog catchers could become a
globalized solution for water supply and agriculture all over the world.
