Water Experience

I’ve worked in some projects regarding water solutions for agriculture, which include nano/microparticles made of super hydrophilic materials added in organic fertilizers/composting, aeroponics farming units and atmospheric water generator plants. Coming from a nearly desert country, which is heavily dependent on food imports, the theme of water scarcity is certainly a day-to-day issue that I work with every day. Most common solutions such as desalination, are being widely implemented in my country, but personally I think that there are different solutions that can also be looked at.
