AMID the hilly desert landscape to the south of Lima, a project is under way to establish 1000 "fog-catchers" to collect up to 400,000 litres of water per day and supply the poverty-stricken people living there.

THE Peruvians Without Water Movement on Sunday set up the first three fog-catchers, devices that collect the water from the fog that regularly covers the Peruvian capital, particularly in winter.
