'fishing' Water From Clouds | Dw Documentary

On this volcanic island, a decade of persistent drought, combined with a booming tourism industry, has put massive strain on limited natural springs. But high above the struggle, Miguel Antonio discovered a secret resource.

He doesn't wait for rain. Instead, he uses nets to "fish" fresh water directly from the mountain mist. ☁️💧

This isn't just a clever hack, it's Miguel's life and livelihood. From his spectacular clifftop garden, he transforms his "cloud-grown" herbs into artisanal teas and schnapps, sold at a small roadside stand to locals and tourists passing by.
