SWC Shelterbelt Water Collectors

SWC is a water collector that protects the growth of shelterbelts, mainly Senegalese catechu in the Sahara Desert of Africa. It prevents the wind from blowing down the immature tree trunk, and collects a small amount of dew and rain below. When soil doesn't have enough water, it diffuses the water inside to help trees grow. When the trunk is strong, the product breaks down back into the soil. The product is made of natural materials and can be used for 1~2 years. The product is coated with local oil to reduce access to pests and diseases, and the high walls of the product protect young trees from livestock.
