Abstract
A fog and rain collector includes a number of mesh panels and a mesh roof panel for collection of fog and rain. The mesh panels used for fog collection may be concave-shaped for greater surface area and increased fog collection. The upper edges of the mesh panels may be arranged in a polygon shape allowing for the collection of fog from all directions. The mesh panels may be mounted on support posts and a trough may be mounted beneath the mesh panels for collection of rain and fog condensate. A dustproof drain is mounted on the trough and connected to a first piping section which moves the water from the trough to a filter and then through a second piping section to a water container for storage. Support posts may used for mounting the mesh panels as well as mounting plates fasted to a surface by screws.
