Water is indispensable for human survival. Freshwater scarcity and unsustainable water are the main growing concerns in the world. It is estimated that about 800 million people worldwide do not have basic access to drinking water and about 2.2 billion people do not have access to safe water supply. Southeast Asia is most likely to experience water scarcity and water demand as a result of climate change. Climate change and the increasing water demand that eventually contribute to water scarcity are focused upon here. For Southeast Asia to adapt to the adverse consequences of global climate change and the growing concern of environmental water demand, fog water harvesting is considered as the most promising method to overcome water scarcity or drought. Fog water collection technique is a passive, low maintenance, and sustainable option that can supply fresh drinking water to communities where fog is a common phenomenon. Fog water harvesting system involves the use of mesh nets to collect water as fog passes through them. Only minimal cost is required for the operation and maintenance. In conclusion, fog water harvesting seems to be a promising method that can be implemented to overcome water scarcity and water demand in Southeast Asia.

气候变化灾害热点地区的雾转化水解决水资源短缺问题：东南亚试点研究

水是人类生存不可缺少的。淡水短缺和不可持续的水是世界上日益增长的主要问题。据估计，全球约有 8 亿人无法获得基本饮用水，约 22 亿人无法获得安全供水。由于气候变化，东南亚最有可能出现水资源短缺和用水需求。这里重点讨论气候变化和日益增加的水需求，最终导致水资源短缺。对于东南亚来说，为了适应全球气候变化的不利后果和日益关注的环境用水需求，雾水收集被认为是克服水资源短缺或干旱的最有希望的方法。雾水收集技术是一种被动、低维护且可持续的选择，可以为雾现象常见的社区提供新鲜的饮用水。雾水收集系统涉及使用网状网来收集雾气穿过时的水。操作和维护只需要很少的成本。总之，雾水收集似乎是一种有前途的方法，可以用来克服东南亚的水资源短缺和用水需求。
