Solid rain
Is water obtained from the rain, stored in a molecular form with the
use of super absorbent acrylates, that can absorb up to 500 times it
weight in water, with no modification of it is chemical structure.
Having as a result rain in solid pieces.
Since ancient times the humans have been trying to store rain, but
always in liquid form.
The technology here presented offers the possibility to store the
rain in solid form.
The rain is captured from roofs or other sources, then is
re-directed and stored temporarily in containers.
Once the liquid rain is in containers, the super absorbent acrylate
is added, this starts the process of solidification.
After the solidification process ends, the solid rain is transferred
to plastic sacks and then stored in warehouses.
The liquid rain for it is transportation requires, pumps, pipes,
electric energy, special trucks, etc.
The solid rain is handled as any other sack.
Because the solid rain does not get lost by filtration in the soil,
it is ideal to cultivate areas with low precipitation and land without
irrigation systems.
The solid rain can be applied to prevent the lost of cultivated
areas, specially after the rainy season is over or unpredictable. The
super absorbent acrylates can be re-hydrated with every new rain. This
cycle can be repeated for up to 10 years.
Is possible to initiate the sowing season before the rain starts.
The plants do not suffer for lack of moisture during their grow.
The crops do not get lost even if the rainy season ends.
Increase of productivity in cultivated areas.
Reduction in the cost of irrigation systems.
Reduction in the use of fertilizers.
Can be also applied to fight fires of grasses and bushes.
Reduction of poverty, hunger, and emigration.
