Cloud-milking': the zero-energy technique keeping young trees alive
Briefly

The project, named Life Nieblas, began with the aim of mimicking how laurel tree leaves capture water droplets from fog and utilizing it for irrigation.
Viera mentioned that solving the fragility problem of the netting was crucial, leading to a system that imitates pine needles and captures water effectively.
The initiative has grown from a pilot in the Canary Islands to influence water recovery efforts in several countries, adapting techniques for wider application.
Viera emphasizes the importance of creating a solution that does not rely on fossil fuels and instead uses natural environmental processes to recover water.
