The Tojquia, Guatemala Fog Collection Project 2006 to 2016

FogQuest began working in the Western Highlands of Guatemala in 2005 with the construction of 4 Large Fog Collectors (LFCs) in La Ventosa. In October 2006, 4 LFCs were constructed in Tojquia. Six more LFCs were added to those in Tojquia in 2007 and the project rapidly grew to 35 LFCs. This is about 1400 m2 of collecting surface providing about 7000 L of fog water per day in the six-month long dry season. Tojquia is at an elevation of about 3300 m a.s.l. and suffers from serious water shortages, especially in the winter. These 35 LFCs remain operational and productive after 10 years of providing clean water to homes in the village. The continued involvement of the people of the village of Tojquia has been vital to the success of this project. The FogQuest approach is to have several FogQuest members teach, organize, and guide the villagers in the initial construction process and then to have the community members as active participants throughout the evolution of the fog collection project. FogQuest does not take in large numbers of volunteers to build the fog collectors for the community. This approach has given the project vitality and the people of the community have organized a water committee to not only maintain the fog collectors but to initiate construction of new fog collectors. It is not changes in the technology of collecting fog water that are required for the adoption of this water resource but rather a careful choice of location and patient and considerate guidance leading to strong partnership building with the peoples of the communities.
