About Us
By 2025, two-thirds of the world’s population will face freshwater shortages. While fresh water makes up only 1% of the Earth’s water, more than 70% of it is used in agriculture. To address this issue, RHST Industries has developed the WaterPearls evaporation control solution. WaterPearls is a nature-based solution specifically designed to reduce water loss due to evaporation. The pearls create a barrier that restricts moisture evaporation by up to 80%, reducing the amount of freshwater needed for irrigation by up to 60%. The pearls are inert and 100% UV-biodegradable. Thousands of WaterPearls are packaged in large mats, which are laid down over the root zones of trees. The breathable mesh surface allows irrigation lines to be placed on top, ensuring even water distribution. Workers can walk over the mats easily, and they require minimal maintenance, lasting up to 50 years.
