Thanks you guys for having the compassion and ability to help others with such a small effort but creating endless opportunities for joy and happiness to grow. They will never forget what you have done, nor I.
many blessings for all Dutch people who helped Peru in their way eeeeeexceellent
Yes. agreed. For a change, they are not raping, robbing and pillaging. Maybe they changed their nature?
Thank you Daniel Meeboer! You should be nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize. You have my vote.
we need more people like these young passionate people ! I also want to help by doing something soon ! life is so meaningful when you create an empathy cycle and help cycle !
+sara meachel Thanks for your comment!
I know ours is late but still ;)
Start helping with whatever you can and start the empathy cycle now!
You can never start too small or too early!
Small changes change the world as well!

Very good! Keep helping humanity!
God bless these fine young men and their humane endeavors
Big thank you to those young Dutch engineers! You are making a difference in our planet. You are the pride of Humanity. Please write their names here so i can copy them on our honor list.
This is genius!! Does this mean places like deserts can be made fertile? BRILLIANT! This idea pays ITSELF BACK by making the ground fertile, and growing plants these also now retain water self perpetuating! BLESSED ARE THE MEEK AND BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE!
Thank you very mush for such a great gift to local.
Y veremos más atrapanieblas, escribo de Tacna Perú, y estamos usando estos métodos y otros más como lluvia sólida para reverdecer los desiertos... saludos!!
What a great young man doing something for the greater good, unlike the rich elite, who want to hurt mankind.
So proud of these young people! Hopefully this project will propel them into a way to make a good living...not just give their time away like this. But KUDOS to them for doing this!!!
The TRUE value of education is serving humanity like this.
Hi Daniel..
What a great job you guys are doing,, The world need more people like you guys.
There is so much poverty and misery in the world but you are changing that one drop of water at the time.
Let me know when will you be in Colombia, Guajira Desert, people living under Horrible conditions need desperately this solution, I can help. God bless you

How wonderful this is! The humanity and compassion of these great young men is walking the walk of the Human Beings. Inspiring all humanity to tune into the music of nature. We can get it right. Bravo!
+Dianne Robinson Thanks Dianne, that means a lot!!
Thank you for showing young people how to really make changes for the better, I hope that you have many riches throughout your life.
Thank You !! you did a great project in Tacna !!
may your goodness inspire the goodness in this world..
thankyou for your beautiful existence.
I am inspired and my thanks go out to these amazing people. I have been looking for a while to find the simplest way to give one person the opportunity to drink the best water, which can be produced without electricity, inclusions and not a rain water tank. This must be it! So I will give it a go. ...... Thank you and You Tube for sharing your expertise. Water for one. A simple project for a tiny back yard, with great expectations.
OMG!!!. They think this innovative and generous for others at this age instead. They are special, awesome guys, they must live longer.
simple solutions can have a great impact in the world :)
João Picciochi Thats how it is !
Great job my friend , I will need your help very soon for Haiti to bring an end to the misery of a great number of my Haitian brothers and sisters .
Pierrot Hyppolite Are the circumstances beneficial in Haiti? You heard about people doing it before ?
Awesome work and what a nice story,love stuff like.
Mollygaga42 Thanks!
We put everything in it we can!
Daily News should be like this not only destruction and money interests :)
now only miss to apply this method in Africa :)
João Picciochi Thanks! We also hope to see that mass media focuses more on positive innovations rather than only negative news from around the world.
Wonderful!!
You Rock! Fog nets are beautiful!
YES,THERE OUR GOOD PEOPLE IN THE WORLD,TO HELP-OTHER PEOPLE
+Robert Huffman
Thanks Robert
Nice work, guys. Shows just how a few simple innovations can help and inspire a whole community. Keep up the great work.
gem_k Exactly what we were thinking gem_k!
The best solutions are easy solutions :)
Thank you so much for taking time to answer my questions. I don't know your beliefs, but I believe God will bless you for your compassion.
Hello fellows, greetings from Colombia. After watching your awesome project at the Atacama, I can only hope that we can work together to bring your Foundation to Colombia, where we too, have a terrible dessert, where children are dying of hunger and thirst. It will be my pleasure to host you and be instrumental in anyway to aid these people. Blessings to you, your families, and all the Dutch people who support you. Already waiting for your reply and for you to come to Guajira, and Santander, Colombia. Blessings.
Hi this project has been a wonderful boon to many people around the globe, but may I suggest you look at the videos of Ascension Island where the Victorians planted the slopes of the dead volcano with very specific trees and other plants to catch the fog, where there was once barren rock and ash there is now a forest with springs and a great deal of wild life this approach may be more beneficial in the long term or even a mix of both systems.
Hmm...! Very good idea for conserving the water where it is the lack of water. I am very happy that there are people like you. @Creating Water Foundation. I like you idea very much I subscibed you and liked your video.
As those trees grow, they will become another fog net. This will create a feed back loop, allowing the desert to be reclaimed. So fortunate this region has the fog. Otherwise, water from air devices wouldn't be practical. Wonderful!
im crying with tears streaming down my face watching and listening and reading this story. im sooooooo proud of these young men and the Creating Water Foundation for this genius idea, for helping others for no reward, for doing good just because it is the right thing to do, for working with and teaching this community, this entire city to SURVIVE, for saving lives, for creating self-sufficiency, for doing it all green, for so many things. this is a perfect example of incredible greatness that can inspire the whole world. dank je wel voor de zegen van deze stad met dit geweldige cadeau!

We're doing a wildland fire fighting system so we can collect potable water. And when needed we have forest water locations. Fantastic job in the desert. I do not envy you.
Maravillosa idea en manos de gente increible y desinteresada un saludo y agradecimiento desde Mexico
Wow, you sir are amazing. So Amazing. Thank you for doing this. such an inspiration to humanity, to work as a team for each others survival. love, gratitude and compassion. Bravo!!!!!
I think this is just absolutely an amazing idea. And being able to do this is spectacular. Especially in places that dont get alot of rain.
My dear brother, thank you for your effort. Wonderful work. I am from Morocco from poor villages. We have no water to drink. I liked this work. It is good for us. I want help from you to Morocco. We will be with you. Thank you.
Awesome stuff, two thumbs up!
Good on ya fellas. I realised while watching this that not all humans are bad. You guys are a testement to that. ✌🏽
You should have 100 millions views.
veel succes.
Well done.I hope your Folk are proud of you.
Simply amazing project!

Thanks for your nice comment!
+Creating Water Foundation will it work in Somaliland too? do you have a short summary of how this technology work without this long explanation? thanks
Geweldig ga zo door
thank you from CantoneSE
Continue to do good work for our people God bless you
Awesome brother, awesome...
God Bless
Wonderful work wonderful people..God bless you😚😚😚
Very nice like eco blue mass production there are lot's of natural desatures happening and coming we should prepare water is essential for our survival.
Very good
Best wishes for your future projects guys, great job!
Excellent! I love what you have done! Wonderful!
Felicitaciones.
+Brigitte Plattner Gracias Brigitte!
thanks it's inspired me a lot
Good job!
Bravo!
Deze, Zinvolle EENVOUD, VERDIENT Een " HEMELPRIJS " !!
OPSCHALEN, Indien Mogelijk !!
GROETJES !! TOP !!
Fantastic, so wonderful!!!!!!
I seem to recall an article that I read about this as a possible solution for California's water problems.
This goes to show how a handful of people can make this world a better place!!
The California coast gets similar fogs. So yes I think this would work well
I am proud of you guys...
congratulations guys, awesome idea and real work :D
inspiring. innovative.
You are legends!!!
What an amazing group of young men! WOW. There are also things called Atmospheric Water machines that take the water from the atmosphere that you can use. One creates around 10,000 litres in a 24 hour period. There are smaller ones also - 80 litres in a day. And different sizes in between. Pretty cool!
God bless you guys
Nice Video :-)
Who ARE these 37 DISLIKES ??? why Why WHY ??? This is fantastic !
Your method is really ingenious. You guys need to get together with some permiculture experts like Geoff Lawton for other ideas in water collection and soil development. I think there's always room for improvement of ideas. Who knows, maybe you could change the whole ecosystem of that area. Desertification is a big problem very few governments want to discuss or solve. And the poor will always pay the price figuratively and literally. Great work. Please keep it up.
wow, this is just fantastic!
My heart is full of gratitude and trust in humanity - I wonder the method is written down somewhere, many places need it
I would love to work in such project....if you people want someone to Participate then I am always ready........good luck guys
fantastic
THIS IS ANSWER TO THE FUTURE..MAKING WATER..REPLICATION..HYPER FOOD GROWING..SLEF RELIANT LIFE...
Where are bushes and trees and avocado stones you can use for soap seeds growing etc.? Where's composting heaps hot composting for fertiser etc. Grapes drip irrigating, grapes grow in sand. Exciting.did you get patent for it?a noble prize for your work.
Thank you
Useful 🌐♥️
Brilliant
Very interesting!! I tried to figure out if it’s economically suitable with data from the net.
If the fog mesh wrings 10 - 20 percent of the water out of the mist, one large fog collector with a 40 m2 collecting surface, will typically produce an average of 200 L per day throughout the year. On some days no water is produced. On other days as much as 1000 L will be generated. The variability depends on the site.
Fog harvesting yields from 1 to 3 Liter of water daily per m², depending of the location. There has been some research here in Germany and they are saying that the perfect mesh can theoretically wring out 50 percent of the water. So there is lot more possible. A 3m high perimeter fencing and about 30m long can catch 180liter of water a day on average. The net is at least working for 5
Costs are variable depending on location, access and whether all labor costs are donated. The large 40 m2 fog collectors cost about $1000 to $1500 US each and can last 10 years. A small village project producing about 2000 L a day will cost about $15,000 US and can last for at least 10 years. Scalation in production and new building technics should cut half of this price.
So on average you have to pay in 2015 about 2$ per m³ (1000L). Better materials could reduce it to 1$. Cool thing.
+Alexander Karl Thanks Alexander for the insight!
Your numbers are correct and in line with our results.
Our fog collectors will be cheaper though so we can cut the costs to around $1-1,50 per m3.
How are you affiliated with fog nets?
Kind regards,
Creating Water
+Creating Water Foundation Hi! Once I have been part of a reforestation project in Spain. That’s why I am very interested in this topic. With fog nets i have no experience. Just some internet research.
Question:
What do you think about planting forests that are specialized for catching humidity from the air?
The coastal redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) and especially the Pinus canariensis have evolved very long needles specifically to harvest fog.
According to german Wikipedia the grown up Pinus canariensis harvests on average 50 l/m² DAILY and only needs 1/3 of it. On a km² (~35.000 trees needed), that’s about ~30.000m² of water going into the ground watershed daily. There you can get it by groundwater pumping up.
I found also a lot of more info in “Plants at the Margin: Ecological Limits and Climate Change” by google book: Even a Nine years old Pinus Canar. Forest is able to harvest 500mm/m² a year throughfall out of the fog in northern Canary.
In one of your first Videos you mentioned the Groasis Waterboxx. So it seems you already made some experience with that idea?
Beside that there are some other trees able to catch fog in bigger amounts: Acacia macracantha, and the fast growing Eucalyptus and Casuarina. Between the trees you could plant the bushes Eugenia and caesalpinia tinctoria. They are fast growing and good for animal feeding. AND then there is the Namib desert grass Stipagrostis sabulicola. It's able to irrigate itself with fog water and it puts about 4l/day to the ground in the hotter Namib. This grass is a perfect material for Permaculture Greening and even building Material. There are also some good working endemic plants in the Atacama.
I have also read that a long time ago before human influence there had been a lot of trees in Atacama.
great job bros. keep doing this
Greetings from the LooseNatural farm in Andalusia Spain where we currently have a drought.
Great to help people, who much humidity I need in desert to help me to get water by your systems? We have too much desert and I will try to use it. Thank you.
