The UN published a dramatic report about the world’s water situation, expecting water supply of 2.9 billion people in 48 countries to fall short of needs in as little as 10 years. In most of those countries over 80% of the water is used for agricultural purposes where most of the water is irrigated with drip irrigation. However, drip irrigation is a sniper water killer:

• It uses 15 to 50 litres per tree per day. That looks little, but it means that one hectare of grapes with 2,500 plants uses 37,500 litres of water each day. (one acre with 1,000 plants uses 3,750 gallons each day). If water was priced at its costprice, growers could not produce crops with drip irrigation;

• 50% Of the given quantity of water through drip irrigation evaporates;

• In nature dry soil is white. That is not a coincidence, it cools the soil. However, the water from drip irrigation makes the soil black, so it heats up terribly;

• The black color creates ideal circumstances for root diseases like phytophtora, pythium and fusarium = high mortality;

• The diseases require treatments with pesticides, so drip irrigation leads to unhealthy food; and the pesticides are expensive to use;

• It also causes salination of the soil – slowly the salt level rises, until the soil is too salty for trees/plants to grow; fertile soil is slowly being destroyed;

• Trees then die all and have to be replaced, sometimes including the soil; or growers leave the area, e.g. the Central Valley along Highway 5 between San Francisco and Los Angeles;

• Cities have incredibly high costs of investment of the expensive grid structure, eternal pumps use, maintenance and replacement of expensive tubes;

The Groasis Waterboxx plantcocoon® is the ideal alternative for drip irrigation.

• It is a cheap technology that costs approximately 2,50 USD per planted tree;

• It is approximately 90% cheaper and uses over 90% less water than drip irrigation;

• It is an organic way of growing, so the use of pesticides is less or even nothing;

• The survival rate is average over 90%. Read the convincing reports of the University of Valladolid of a 5 year research program with 24,000 Waterboxx plantcocoons®;

• It is an ideal solution for urban city farming to grow vegetables with over 75% less water use;

• Proven technology: over 100 videos in 26 countries in our YouTube tree channel teach you all about successful tree planting, in 11 languages;

• Proven technology: 16 videos in our YouTube vegetable channel teach you all about organic vegetable growing in your own garden, or with rural families, with the highest possible water efficiency, in 5 languages;

• The Groasis Waterboxx plantcocoon® creates an incredible strong and deep penetrating root system;

Look at the Gmelina arborea growth speed in Ecuador on the photos below. The extreme circumstances cannot prevent the strong growth:

• Santa Helena peninsula Ecuador – highest radiation on Earth – 8,000 joules/day

• Over + 41C (+106 Fahrenheit)

• Salty winds from the Pacific Ocean;

• Average 111 mm precipitation (4.2 inches)
