Water Beneath

Research

Hypothesis

Deep point-source root-zone irrigation (the Buried Diffuser) can beat modern subsurface drip on litres per established tree in arid, off-grid work.

Why it matters

Mining rehab, national greening, and corporate nature programs turn on water cost and survival.

How I thought about it

Commercialise Chahtech’s patented diffuser as Water Beneath. Enter via mining rehabilitation, then government and corporate restoration. The proof that matters: litres per healthy tree versus best SDI.

The work

Company brief + background; multi-country field history; awards trail. Independent head-to-head tree trial still needed.

Where it stands

Research.
