Wine Stories , News - March 9, 2010Besides helping to solve problems such as deforestation, food shortages and water conservation, water box Groasis, authored by Dutch scientist Pieter Hoff, can be very beneficial for viticulture. Experiments will be conducted shortly in the valleys of Sonoma and Napa California.
Steenbergen, Netherlands and SACRAMENTO, Calif., March 8 / PRNewswire / - The water box Groasis waterboxx, invention and innovative award-winning Dutch scientist Pieter Hoff is about to change the course of history.
The Dutch scientist Pieter Hoff
On March 16, the California Environmental Summit (Green California Summit), in Sacramento, Hoff will announce global planting experiments without irrigation. Four projects will be conducted in high and low deserts of California, Palm Springs and Napa Valley with Robert Mondavi Winery, and the first U.S. sustainable city in Sonoma, will join twenty other global experiments in seven countries covering four continents .
Hoff completed a test planting of trees for four years in the Sahara Desert (Morocco) with a survival rate of 88.2%. The monitored results of the tests find that world man can plant trees in bushes, rocks, mountains, deserts or elsewhere difficult without irrigation. California, along with the rest of the world eagerly awaits the results of these tests as a means to solve deforestation, food shortages and water conservation.
The Groasis waterboxx is the size of a motorcycle tire with an opening in the center around a young tree or a seed planted in the ground. This' intelligent water incubator "produces and captures water from the air through condensation and rain, without using energy. Also prevents the evaporation of water from the soil and protects the roots against sun, wind, weeds and rodents. After a year, the tree is strong enough to grow by itself and the box can be easily removed and reused.

He hopes his waterboxx achieve in the next 40 years reforest 2 billion hectares (5 billion acres) of desert, which has suffered erosion of humanity.
CO2 molecules can be released through the trees that produce fruit, medicines, oils, etc.. transplanted while C atoms of fossil fuels in the wood. "Let money from the trees as CO2 molecules release instead of harping on climate change," he explains in his book CO2, a gift from heaven.
