Summary

The Groasis waterboxx is an 'intelligent water incubator' that produces and captures water from the air through condensation and rain. The condensation is caused by artificial stimulation and the water is captured through physical capacities, without using energy.

The Groasis waterboxx makes it possible to plant trees or bushes on rocks, on mountains, in gardens, in ashes of recently burned woods, eroded areas or deserts or any other place, without the help of irrigation with a 100% planting result. In moderate climates the Groasis waterboxx causes a 15 to 30% faster growth after the start. The Groasis waterboxx offers the possibility to make more money with trees or bushes through food, fruit, nuts, wood, extracts, medicines, oils and many other economically interesting products.

Proven technology

The Groasis waterboxx has been tested 3 years in the Sahara desert by the Mohammed I University of Oujda in Morocco, with convincing results. Trees that were planted during the Summer with the Groasis waterboxx survived well. The trees planted were measured and showed an average growth of more than 90% in length within one year. The test without the Groasis waterboxx was watered weekly but 90% of the trees died. In this link you find the climate info of Oujda that you can compare with your own climate in order to see if the Groasis waterboxx can also be of help in your place.

Tests have shown that the trees, after the Groasis waterboxx is removed, successfully survive. This proves that planting with the Groasis waterboxx and afterwards removing it, is a secure way of planting trees everywhere. Read all about the planting techniques.

Science Award

In November 2008 the Groasis waterboxx was rewarded the Dutch Bèta Dragons Science Award 2008. This competition is organized by the Platform Bèta Techniek in cooperation with the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs. The jury was very positive about the potential of the Groasis waterboxx as a solution for ecological – climate and poverty issues.

Two options

The buyer of the Groasis waterboxx is able to select from two options: the re-usable polypropylene model or the one-time usable biopolymer model. The differences in costs and revenues are explained in the calculation document.

Explanation of the functioning of the Groasis waterboxx

The Groasis waterboxx is a copy of Mother Nature. Mother Nature doesn´t plant but sows, through birds or grazing animals, ON TOP of the soil. The manure functions as a cover so that a capillary column = humidity column develops. Then the seed germinates, develops its root in the capillary column and once water is found, the leaves develop and evaporation and photosynthesis can start. This technique has worked for billions of years and therefore trees grow even in the Rocky Mountains or on the Alps that consist of granite stones.

So trees growing on rocks or in deserts is not a problem. Planting and germinating - bringing the tree through the planting period until it gets its water from the capillary - is the problem. That is what the Groasis waterboxx solves. It is therefore a planting concept. Read more about the Groasis waterboxx, copying Mother Nature

Make money with trees

Investing in trees is interesting and a secure way to make money with. With the Groasis waterboxx it is even more interesting. The interactive calculations document shows you that using the Groasis waterboxx has the effects of saving money on the investment and raising revenues because of higher yields. Interesting profit increases are the result of these effects.

Trees grow everywhere

Trees grow in deserts and on rocks. Most of the mountains on Earth are covered by woods. All mountains on Earth are rocks, think of the name Rocky Mountains. This picture shows you the 30 meter high famous “Lone Cypress” near Monterey California growing on a 200 meter high rock. (photo “courtesy Wikipedia”) How is it possible that trees grow on rocks, in deserts or in eroded areas? The secret of this capacity lies in the capillary. Read all about capillary.

Conclusions

The Groasis waterboxx is a practical instrument without maintenance costs, capable of 1) solving the problem and improving the results of planting trees in moderate and arid areas and 2) causing a 15 to 30% higher production and 3) reducing the costs and improving the profit of planting trees or bushes with interesting percentages.
