Cloud Catchers In Peru

People Fixing The World

Available for over a year

What can you do if you do not have access to running water? No pipes, no wells, no rainfall? The solution may be to catch water from fog. We meet Abel Cruz, the Peruvian man behind a huge fog net project which is providing water to a community in the slums of Lima. Could fog catching be a solution to wider water crises facing the world? Also, we help a Canadian listener with his bed bug invasion and hear a big idea that could change how girls and women are viewed in the Arab world. (Photo: Fog nets in Peru)
