} camanchacas: a cloud bank that forms in some parts of S. America along the east coast of S. America. On the side of the mountains where this cloud bank forms, it is a dense fog that does not drop any rain. Scientists have devised a system of polypropylene netting to capture the water droplets in the fog to produce running water for villages in these otherwise desert areas.
