How do these nets harvest water in the arid Sahara?

Residents of modern megacities are accustomed to the uninterrupted water supply to their apartments. In such comfortable conditions, sometimes a false feeling is created that this important source of life is easily accessible to everyone. However, there are many places on the planet where people cannot physically afford to have an unlimited supply of clean water. One of such places is the arid Sahara desert. Today, water is extracted there with the help of special nets. What are these nets, and how does this technology work? What natural phenomenon inspired scientists to come up with a simple but effective solution to the problem? Find out about it in today's video. The slopes of Mount Boutmezguida, located on the very edge of the Sahara, are one of the driest regions of Morocco. Residents of settlements located there have long suffered from severe water shortages due to low rainfall and depletion of groundwater.
