San Francisco State University - Cloud Haven

Cloud Haven is a fog harvesting hydrological tower that will provide potable water to communities throughout San Francisco to combat the increasingly urgent issue of water scarcity. The project uses passive means of harvesting, filtering, and dispensing water for the public for drinking, gardening, storing, or any other water needs. Using fog harvesting mesh as well as taking influence from biological fog harvesters such as the Namib desert beetle, the tower has a textured surface that forms water droplets that flow down the surface into the biofiltration features for use by the community.
