Water as rain or irrigation, falls on the surface of the soil, percolates through the soil layers and is utilised by the crop being grown. Modern cultivation practices and machinery sizes still contribute to significant areas of run-off and loss of this valuable commodity.

Aqueel the crops solution
Aqueel retains water within the cropping area with its clever indentations of approximately 1 litre which is approximately 175,000 litres per hectare.

• As water is a carrier of crop nutrients, this is retained.
• Whilst the nutrients are retained they are beneficial and not converted into pollutants if washed off the field.
• Water running off the field carries significant valuable top soils with it and can lead to soil structure and erosion problems.

Irrigation
It goes without saying that at the most vital time of year for many crops, water is at its lowest levels. The design of the Aqueel reservoirs ensures that far more of the water that lands on the field, rainfall or irrigation is retained for the benefit of the crop.
