This page provides further details of the concept and content of this exhibit. I have not yet 'set' the exhibit in the location of the Riverfront Park, I am first deciding which elements I want to include.

We can dew enables you to experience the ingenuity and effectiveness of a Large Fog Collector (LFC). This is achieved using a number of methods:

Please see the Resources section for diagrams of the exhibit which illustrate the content (WIP).

A to scale model of an LFC is built. The mesh hides a thin Perspex box the full size of the mesh which contains water or polystyrene beads or some other material to represent water (like a double glazed window.)

There is a mechanism for the visitor to ‘be the fog or dew’ e.g. bellow-like attachment which starts the process of the beads/water cascading down through its casing and into the pip below. As the casing and pipe etc are transparent this can be seen by the visitor.

This then flows along another pipe to go into the collection barrel. After the exhibit is used, the beads/water flow back to their starting position.

A video is triggered to start after this process is completed, of an LFC in use in a participating country (e.g. Peru.)

To the right, stats and data giving more information about the benefits and capabilities of LFC’s is presented. This includes the following information for each site:

-          a map showing where in the world it is, a map with temperature bands color-coded

-          a photo of the LFC in it’s location (or super-imposed at a recognisable landscape point in the case of the three hypothetical sites)

-          brief geographical and climate data, rainfall, humidity etc for this area, as is found on the projects listings at www.fogquest.org

-          graphical illustration the amount of water one LFC can collect at this location and the number of people that can sustain. This data part has the facility to use sliders to slide the graphical illustrations (e.g. 2D mock up of a bucket of water) to where you think the correct water quantity lies, and similar for the people. You can then lift the slider to see how close you were! For the hypothetical sites, this data cold be ‘guesstimated’ by Fogquest and provided as an estimate only.
