Desert Control develops process to turn clay into liquid

Clay-rich soil can retain water and is highly drought-resistant. However, mixing clay into soil is quite difficult. Desert Control has developed a process for turning clay into a liquid with a consistency close to water.

The composition does not contain chemicals and is easily sprayed onto the ground using sprinklers commonly used to irrigate drylands.

Each type of clay has unique properties, and different soils require specific liquid compositions.

Once sprayed, the liquid compound settles into the soil and creates a layer 40-60 centimeters deep. By sticking to sand particles, they form a new soil structure that holds water like a sponge. This process turns degraded soil into fertile soil and reduces water consumption by up to 50 percent.
