THe ISSUES
- Global population growth and rising affluence in developing nations is placing life-threatening demands on freshwater supplies while stretching farmers’ ability to produce enough quality food to meet rising demand.
- Over tapped aquifers have become the norm, not the exception; not enough water to irrigate desired areas.
- Government incentives in China and India for water technologies.
- Regional and global planners searching of water.
- Lawsuits between states and municipalities.
- 80% of California's water goes to agriculture and still not enough to irrigate desired acres.
The Science
Plants acquire CO2 from the air via their leaves, they lose water vapor through this same mechanism. This water loss through the leaves, known as transpiration, is huge. The leaf’s gaseous exchange of {CO2 in and water vapor out} is regulated by microscopic orifices called "stomata" located predominantly on the underside of leaves. CO2 regulates the size of the stomata opening, i.e., plenty of CO2 available and the apertures close reducing water loss; ambient CO2 under demand and the apertures open greatly increasing the plant’s water loss.
Thusly, stomatal closure induced by Carbogation has additional significant benefits: 1.) The rate of water loss declines thereby decreasing the plant’s water requirements and increasing the water-use efficiency (yield/unit of water), 2.) Reduces the plants’ vulnerability to drought, and 3.) Stems the inducement of harmful air pollutants into the plant’s metabolic processes (notably highly deleterious ozone pollution synonymous with Central Valley, CA air quality).
Without Carbogation℠ Brand CO2 Enrichment the crop loses 400 molecules of water for every single molecule of CO2 uptake. With Carbogation℠ Brand CO2 Enrichment the crop stomata closes reducing water loses by 80%, while growth is stimulated by greater CO2 availability.
