The foggiest idea

摘要

In the mountains of eastern nepal, a Small Village lies covered in fog seven months of the year. When the fog clears, the snow-capped Himalayan mountain range, the highest in the world, can be seen from the 13 homes in the village. Although the view is spectacular, the residents of this village, Danda Bazaar, are hoping for fog, and lots of it. Why? Because when wind blows fog through the fibres of plastic mesh nets draped across the sky atop the highest hills in Danda Bazaar, water droplets collect and drip into a container. This water can then be used as drinking water, a scarce commodity in this mountainous country where communities settle on riclges, making accessibility to water sources a problem.
