Thesis- 

The Water Collecting Tree is a device positioned in the environment to collect water. The mesh is used to catch water droplets from the fog carried by the wind. Water droplets accumulate on the mesh and gravity helps it to be collected. To speed up the collection process the tree engages spring-like action that encourages water droplets to collect faster. The water then can be filtered and then be able to drink. “Fog droplets are carried by the wind and are intercepted while the air passes through the mesh. Minute fog droplets form larger water droplets on the mesh fabric – the most diffused for fog collection purpose is the raschel mesh – and trickle down into an attached gutter. In this way, water can be collected, stored and later used.” It's mainly important that humans become more resourceful in water collection.
