Groasis Waterboxx

Overview

Additional Information

Description

The Groasis Waterboxx, invented by award winning Dutch innovator Pieter Hoff, is about to change the course of history. The Waterboxx, which is the size of a motorcycle tire with an opening in the center, surrounds a sapling or seed that is planted in the soil. This ‘intelligent water incubator’ produces and captures water from the air through condensation and rain, without using energy. During the past 4 years, the Dutch inventor Pieter Hoff has planted trees in Morocco's Sahara Desert with an 88.2% growth success rate. Currently the Waterboxx is being used or planned for 20 new projects in 7 countries (on 4 continents) to prove that it is possible to plant trees on bushes on rocks, mountains, in deserts or any other difficult place, without irrigation. Projects in California will include Joshua Tree National Park, Palm Springs, Robert Mondavi Winery, Sonoma Ecology Center and Cittaslow. California, along with the rest of the world, eagerly looks forward to the results of these tests as a way to solve deforestation, food shortage and water conservation.
