The present research was carried out in the Human Settlement Leandra Ortega, located in the coast of Peru. This is a hill area that has been degraded by overpopulation and is characterized by the presence of fog or mist, which are formed by climatological factors. In this human settlement there is no potable water service and the population is poor, so due to the lack of this service was raised the capture of fog water through artificial collectors. The collectors are made of inexpensive and accessible materials, and can be constructed in various shapes and sizes. The study evaluated the availability of water in fog, using an SFC model that has an area of 1 m2 and is made of Raschell mesh of 35 percent shade. The volume captured was variable (0 to 9 liters) and depended on climatic conditions in the study area. The quality of the fog water was determined through the analysis of mandatory parameters (pH, electrical conductivity, turbidity, color and fecal coliforms) of DIGESA Water Quality Regulation for Human Consumption. The parameters analyzed exceeded the maximum permissible limits of the Regulation, for which it was necessary to treat the water, using a ceramic filter. A commercial filter called “El Filtron“ was used, with treatment at home level. The filter allowed fecal coliforms to be eliminated up to 100 percent, the decrease of the turbidity in 91 percent and color in 16 percent, also alkalized the pH up to 8.22; But the limits were not reached for water to be fit for human consumption.
