To determine:
At what environmental conditions Bellavista can continue to thrive.
Introduction:
Fog is made up of visible aerosol which contains small water or ice droplets or ice crystals suspended in the air, near the earth surface. Fog is also considered as low lying cloud. The moisture in the fog is generally due to the water sources situated nearby.
To determine:
The changes could undermine the progress being made there.
Introduction:
Bellavista roughly receives 1.5 cm of average rainfall. They used to depend on expensive trucked water until people of Bellavista developed cloud trapping device which can trap the fog and condense it to give pure water. Now, they preserve hundreds of gallons of water daily in winters which can be used for various purposes.
