Keywords:
Water supply, fog water, water shortage, Atacama Desert, AntofagastaAbstract
An analysis has been made of the possibiluies for supplying potable water to Mejilllones, Paposo and Taltal by collecting fog water. The deficiencies in the current water supplies to these tocalities are documented. The geographical conditions which make possible the collectlon of water using large fog collectors are listed and a brief theoretical approach has been given in regard to the three terrain features. This analysis was done using maps and in situ studies of the terrain. lt is specifically recommended that a system of fog collection be implemented the fishing village of Paposo becacause of the favorable geographical conditions and the precarious state of the present water supply.
