TranspirationLoss of water from the leaf surface to the atmosphere.

Humidity catcherHumid air from the atmosphere is catched in net made of nylon mesh. The transpiration from the plants add extra humidity to the air.

AbsorptionLight energy and Carbon Dioxide is absorbed by the leaf.

Xylem vesselAre found just below the bark and transport water and nutrients up the plant or tree.

Drip irrigationLocally produced clay pots let a controlled amount of water drip through to the plants, and are extremely water efficient.

PercepationRainfall is absorbed in the earth and and absorbed by the roots of the plant or tree.

URBAN FOG FARMINGBy facilitating a densification in height above existing settlements, open areas can be utilized for urban fog farming, as assuring basic substenance.

Humidity cathers are here combined with vegetation, which because of its transpiration will add ekstra humidity to the nets.

The farming is based on drip-irrigation with the use of local ceramic pots that let a constant and mini-mum of water to drip through to the plants.

The drip-irrigation allows for an efficiently low water-consumption, and is a cheap method that can be run manually by local initiatives.
