Challenge Background
What we are looking for
We are looking for an off-grid solution to provide water to individual trees on an as-needed basis year-round to ensure the survival of the millions of plants we reforest each year.
We are looking for a solution that captures runoff water from rainfalls or any other available source of water and stores it for future use in watering the plants. Additionally, the mechanism must maintain adequate moisture and microbial activity at the roots level. We face the challenge of a long dry season in Senegal, so the solution must allow for rapid refilling and be resistant to sunlight and bushfires, It should also be reusable for several years .
Solution criteria
Low cost (ideally less than $5 a unit) to fit budgets
Be easy to install, move and reinstall
Retain maximum of water underground
Be able to release on-need-basis year-round
Of easy maintenance
What we offer
Design of technology, testing, prototype, sampling, production line
