Some images from winters past.

Some new images from recent travels.

I’ve recently returned from Guatemala, where I work with FogQuest on volunteer projects.  FogQuest has been working with the people in the village of Tojquia, in the Western Highlands of Guatemala, since 2006. It is an ongoing project to utilize large fog collectors to provide water for the needs of the people on their farms during the dry winter season. Together we have constructed 40 large fog collectors along with the installation of plastic water tanks to store the water. This has been a very successful project and a demonstration of the long-term viability of fog collection projects when they are conducted with the cooperation of the villagers. These fog collectors provide about 8000 L per day of fog water to the families during the winter season when rain is largely absent.

The latest fog collector was installed by a school and greenhouse.

A video of this project can be seen on the projects page
