| Conceivable applications | Water-saving cultivation in arid areas to increase vegetable crop. Limited availability of water for irrigation can restrict growth and production in many crop-irrigated areas, and particularly in semi or arid regions. Porous System gives conclusive solutions | |
| Performance | Porous tube is recycled piper from used tire. Unlike other irrigation tube, this system has many pores through which water seeps directly out and very slowly supplies water to the plants by making water control very precisely and effectively. PorousAlpha made by used glass bottles obtains significant water availability in soil. |
|
| Technical maturity | The effect of porous layers for water preservation in soil has been evaluated by Tottori University Arid Research Center Japan. This system has already been implemented successfully by Institut Supérieur d'Enseignement Technologique (ISET) Mauritania. | |
| Competitive advantage | We do create a good sustainable economic product from waste glass bottle and used rubber tire. | |
| Conceivable risk | Nil | |
