This product was designed with a purpose:

saving water for irrigations.

In the International Conference on Arid Lands, Deserts and Desertification, promoted in 2020 by Ben Gurion University in Israel, it was stated that, in the world, 1300 hectares of arable land are lost every hour, due to drought and desertification.

Irrigations often lack of water: 495 mm of rain per year in Trapani, 607 mm in Reggio Calabria and 436 mm in Bari. “Water Collector” is a 8 meter costruction which collects rain water from the top and distributes it through pipes and sprinkles. Water Collector also avoids the waste of fuel that farmers would use to go to collect water from tanks.

“I will do the work for you… just let it rain”
