Are there any practical tests done to precipitate fog artificially with fog-seeding as a potential water source in arid and semi-arid areas?

Fog-water collection with Large Fog Collectors is a proven method of water harvesting system in arid and semi-arid coastal areas but is there any practical test being made to precipitate fog artificially with fog-seeding at a larger scale as a potential source of water?

Merv Byron in Alberta has developped a technology to precipitate clouds:

RGDS,
Interesting! I foresee the practicality of your innovation did you undertake any practical field test if yes what was the average fog-water harvested (L/m2)?
