Contextualization: Since the 20th century, water consumption has increased globally. This increasing is due to the fact that there is currently a high demand in developed countries and in those with rising economies. Another problem is population growth worldwide, which generates indiscriminate water use in the agricultural, livestock and industrial sectors; which generates an increasing in the use water.

Knowledge gap: Fog catchment systems (fog catchers) become a useful alternative for taking advantage of the water resource available in the environment for subsequent storage and distribution in different human development activities. However, in Colombia there is a lack of studies that can be related to the implementation of these artisanal systems.

Purpose: In this research, the relevance of the use of four fog catchers with different percentages in the polyshade, are located in the Vijal and Alto Bonito properties, which correspond to an ecosystem zone of sub-Andean forest, was investigated with the aim to determinate the viability of this tool in the water collection.

Methodology: A randomized complete block design was carried out and, using Duncan's test, it was determined if there were significant differences between the polyshade percentages used and the height of the plots.

Results and conclusions: As a result, it was obtained that polyshade of 65%, captured 980 ml corresponding to the Alto Bonito property; while in the Vijal, the fog catch was 784 ml. The mesh with 80% polyshade, captured 990 ml in the Alto Bonito property, while in Vijal, the fog catch was 794 ml. There is no significant difference to obtain water related to polyshadows. In relation to the difference in the properties altitude, there is a significant difference; the water average accumulated in the Vijal property is 25.5 ml/day, while in Alto Bonito, it is 31.8 ml/day.
