Work with a partner and underline the language that establishes a cause-and-effect connection.

1. Despite the success of fog harvesting in Chungungo, the system is, unfortunately, no longer in use (de la Lastra, 2002).

2. The availability of water led to a tripling of the population from 300 to 900, putting pressure on the water supply (lDRC, 2003).

3. Because the community lacked a clear commitment to the project (see Diehl, 2010, for a full explanation), they did not add new nets to increase the water supply, and instead petitioned for water to be piped in from 20 km away.

4. Although the village abandoned this viable alternative technology, the Chungungo experience has led to successful implementation of fog harvesting initiatives in other mountainous coastal areas of Chile, Ecuador, Mexico, and Peru, providing much needed fresh water to small communities.
