peruvian fogcatcher watercolor drawing by alexander glandien

Almost the entire Pacific coast of Peru is characterized by extreme drought and because many people here don't have access to clean water, they try to produce water from the existing fog with the help of so-called Atrapanieblas (fog catchers). In the mountain regions along the coast and in the hills around Lima, various constructions are used to stretch fine-meshed nets on which the mist condenses, and it is finally collected as water in containers. With the support of the NGO Peruanos sin agua, I visited some of the facilities and with the water extracted from the fog I created a series of watercolor drawings that represent these fog catchers.

I also had the opportunity to interview Abel Cruz Guiterrez, founder of Peruanos sin agua and passionate developer of fog catchers.
