Four students from Gadjah Mada University (UGM), Yogyakarta, have created a device that can harvest water from fog, opening the possibility that during the dry season water will no longer be a problem, as long as there is fog.
“There is always fog during the dry season. It’s part of the balance of nature,” leader of the student research team, Aditya Riski Taufani, said recently.
Aditya and his colleagues — Puji Utomo, Taufiq Ilham Maulana and Musofa — of UGM’s school of engineering, major in civil and environmental engineering. They started work on their project early this year.
Aditya said the idea for the research came when they visited a village on the Ungaran plateau during the dry season and saw that there was still plenty of fog in the morning. During one of their classes, they had been told that water can be harvested from fog, so they submitted a research proposal asking for funding to the Education and Culture Ministry’s Student Creativity Program.
