Water Innovations: Chile's CamanchacaFresh water flows into a storage tankThe concept of harvesting water from the camanchaca came from local observation of condensation onthe leaves of eucalyptus trees growing near El Tofo. Today Caleta Chungungo has a reliable supply ofpotable water, <strong>and</strong> enough water to irrigate small vegetable gardens. This successful grass-rootsinnovation has spread to other dryl<strong>and</strong> regions with similar physical geography, such as Peru, Ecuador,<strong>and</strong> beyond South America in Oman, a mountainous country on the Arabian Sea.Photo credit (except Space Shuttle photo): P.
