Is anyone more familiar with this ? If I had a house, I would try something similar.
I wonder if placing a small water trough in front of my windows would have the same effect ? Probably not. It would most likely just bring in humidity ... or attract mosquitoes !  |
Get some
mosquito fish and call it a fish-pond.
Sounds like a passive swamp cooler. It's effectiveness would be a function of how humid it already is where you live.
