Water shortage can cause drought problems to professionals involved in nurseries, reforestation, horticulture, gardening, green areas, flower-growing and general farming. To avoid such problems BURAS PROFESIONAL, S.A. provides a system of drought prevention and water administration improvement, ECOGEL, a water super-absorbent. With this product the water use is reduced, as well as the watering frequency, and the rainwater can be used more effectively.ECOGEL is a polymer (polyacrylamide) classified as superabsorbent or water-retentive. It has an exceptional water retention capacity, since it can store between 150 and 400 times its dry weight. ECOGEL acts like a sponge in the soil; when it comes into contact with water, the polymers quickly absorb the water to form an insoluble substance similar to a gel. The water stored is freely available to the roots of plants.
