Fog Catchers of the Atacama by Neil Hall

Nicolas Prado of the Universidad Catolica waters a small garden at the Alto Patache fog oasis in Iquique, Northern Chile. The garden grew up out of apparently nothing when water collected from fog spilt into the ground. Seeds hidden in the desert for many years grew. Later experiments showed that by using fog water the desert could be transformed and turned into large scale farms and gardens.
