Water is the most important and necessary natural resource for human beings. Without this resource, our existence would be simply impossible and, given the scarcity of this resource, many people and entire communities suffer.
That is why solving the difficulties of access to water is one of the priorities of institutions and leaders around the world. recently, since National Polytechnic Institute of CDMX (Mexico) a proposal has been made that represents a valuable contribution to overcome part of this problem.
Water Silos
Sergio Jesús Rico Velasco, engineer and researcher, has discovered a way to absorb rainwater and solidify it for a storage and transport much more efficient. This has been achieved through a chemical that transforms water into a different state that can be described as gelatinous; that allows it to be stored in bags, bottles or other containers.
The engineer’s substance is made from potassium, which is non-toxic and biodegradable; It comes in powder form. This powder should be placed in the soil right at the roots of the plants. In this way, this dust, when it rains, it does not allow the water to run or evaporate, but retains it; which allows the plant to absorb water when it requires it. Once all the water has been used, the substance will return to its original state: powder.
Benefits of Water Silos
Thanks to this proposal coming from Mexico, it may be possible to make a much more efficient use of water resources available for agriculture; which translates into more food and better quality, in a sustainable way. The most outstanding aspect of this technology is the possibility of making better use of the available water.
It is important stand out that a kilo of East dust have the ability for store 500 liters of Water. So, Thank you a these silos, can be possible reduce the use of Water for irrigation of plantations Come in 50% and 90%, according to its own self creator. This it is extremely encouraging; well 70% of Water of world I know destined to farmingthat It allows the feeding of everybody. So, would possible to have a great amount of Water available for the consumption human and see close the solution to shortage of vital liquid.
Yes rightthe Benefits for the use of Water are enough for consider a is technology What one of the plus important alternatives for the saving of East resource; also favors to nature since others prospects: avoiding the erosion of the floors and the pollution of Water. The contributions of East invention they have permitted to be certain What a true solution in zones where I know can to give shortage of Water.
In the presentalready this applying is technology in a great amount of countries. Some of they are: India, Guatemala, Colombia, Honduras, Spain, Ecuador, state Joined, Dubai Y plus; without embargothe Benefits of the use of is technology will have a impact much plus there of the borders of the countries that apply.
