Perspective

3. Prehistory
Call of the concern Bayer & the magazine „National Geographic Germany“ for the extraction,preparation and protection of drinking water
1,3 billion people without clean drinking water
Appropriation: €

4. Prehistory
Application of 94 projects in Europe, Asia and South America
One of the winners: Kai Tiedemann with the fog- catcher- project
Start of the project with Anne Lummerich

5. The project‘s aim Water catchment, especially drinking water
Water catchment which can be performed of the natives themselves

6. The project‘s location
This project was performed in Lima, Peru

7. The project‘s location
Dry coast- hills
High of the Andes
Immigration to cities from the pampas to the vicinity of Lima
Many poor people
10mm rain per year, BUT durable fog

8. Why fog but no rain?

9. Realisation
With $ for the project and $ for life they flew to Lima, Peru.
exact knowledge about the fog and its formation
Technical equipment
Problem: the project‘s realisation would not be possible without the natives‘ help

10. Realisation Persuade the natives for this project
Reforestation of the hills (more than trees had to be planted and cultivated)
Nets out of plastic had to be made and tensed

11. Realisation To break big stones up they had only iron rods
To create terraces, pathways and stairs they had only shovels
Building materials must be transported from top to the bottom with chains of people

12. The real water catchment
Basic principle is condensation
Fog condenses on nets (synthetic fog- catcher)

13. The real water catchment
If trees preserve themselves → they are also fog- catcher (natural fog- catcher)

14. Achieved aims Water catchment (more than 100 000l in under 8 weeks)
No drinking water yet but water for irrigation and to washing
Social project: Natives learned to take on responsibility, education, hope for other projects and for the future

15. Perspective
To catch drinking water, they only need a filter and a system to add chlorine (about $ )
Other towns and villages ask for help to do projects like this one
