This revolutionary breakthrough transforms rainwater into a solid resource using potassium acrylate, a biodegradable polymer.
Developed by Mexican engineer Sergio Jesus Rico Velasco, this powdered polymer turns into a gel when hydrated with rainwater, capable of retaining up to 210 times its weight in water for 41 days.
This innovative technology promises to improve crop growth in regions with extreme climates, where water availability is scarce and unpredictable. Additionally, it ensures that this method can reduce water usage in agriculture by up to 92%, lowering costs and dependence on expensive irrigation systems.
I hope we support these types of projects that will help us protect water.
