I watched quite a few video it looks very impressive, but it would be nice to see updates. Maybe 2 to 5 years later and are more being planted in the same area.
If you ask me, they should plant cedar, pine, AND tall trees with canopies near the top. Not just one of these kinds of trees, but a variety.These will grab a hold of the soil, handle the dry conditions until things change, and give shade. The leaves that fall from the tall trees will start creating a new, fertile soil on top of the sand. They are having great results with this in parts of Asia and Africa, from what I hear. Just re-planting the desert plants that already existed isn't going to change the desert landscape much. Although drought-resistant and well-rooted, many of those pre-existing plants are low to the ground, prickly, and offer no real foliage that would provide shade or re-fertilize the soil. If you want climate change for the better, you have to change what you plant. Simple as that.
Any updates? I haven't seen any update on any of the Waterboxx projects. I hope long term results show that the plants do well after Waterboxx removal.
I lived in banning and as teenagers we use to go to whitewater, moved away in 1990 went back to to show my kids whitewater in 2016 and no water just the sun and heat left, you want to cry but only sadness
10 years on & no progress follow up video. A common trend which is a shame as I can see from other examples of Groasis's work that it's a viable technology. Perhaps if there was more followup work done it just might help grow your business faster and in possibly, a more efficient manner. As the old saying goes, " Seeing is believing."
Hi @Peter S. You are correct there currently is no update video for this project. There are quite some for other projects. Maybe www.groasis.com/photos-1?lang=en helps with before and after photos. Also we try to regularly update our newsletter subscribers. You are correct: follow ups are just (and probably more) important. We agree! ^MK
@@Groasis Today, power of social media is an important component of most businesses worldwide - for Groasis especially so since you're trying to change the world, one Waterbox at a time. Look at Tesla. No traditional advertising but their company keeps on growing; mainly through UA-cam, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram amongst others, i.e. word of mouth. Now they've got 3 massive Gigafactories. One of which is under expansion in under a year, a 4th under construction & a 5th that's likely to commence construction within the next few months. There's a lesson in there somewhere.
@@pinkelephants1421 I totally agree with you. We sure can learn from these companies. Though I think Tesla's journey is somewhat different, I agree there's lessons to be learned :). ^MK
@Rich Is that based on facts or speculation? I have seen their videos which show lots of grass and shrubs growing spontaneously around the trees, which would certainly capture and hold rainwater.
Pl.plant tall spreading dense shadows, useful trees .Such as Banyan peeple,umber,neem,awala,badam,mango,Jamun, Ritha,shkekaki, dates,Shalmali, Shirish Jackfruit Lichi babool etc.These r Indian trees. Other also try.For manuals use kitchen, market wastage grind with machines, mix with water.Give to trees. Quickly grow,
Esta muy bien .son tantos arboles que destruimos que medimos las consecuencia.con un arbol podemos hacer mil serillos pero con un solo serillo podemos quemar mil arboles.
Hello. Maybe a ceramic groasis would also work. It would be more ecological. Made of natural clay, and possibly reusable. Plastic becomes brittle in the sun, ruining the device.
It woulda worked if they hired more than just 5 immigrants to plant the whole desert then maybe theyd stayed on longer than a day instead of running off w/o calling in
Bobby Westner Okay, rude. How do you even know who decided to try to make a change? And how could you insult those people when they received no support to plant more trees? I’m not mad at you or anyone, but your sounding and many others ignorant.
Hi Jessica Quinn, we'd be happy with this footage to ;). Concerning the question if anything survived: plantings with the Waterboxx® have a survival rate of 90%. More about survival rates can be found www.groasis.com/en/technology/scientific-results-of-planting-with-the-groasis-technology. ^MK
Good Day to You: Could you give me an update on your experiments please? I am interested to see how well everything worked out for you. I am thinking about using some in Central America (Panama) any information that you can share would be useful to me. Thank you for Your time.
It's about saving a particular species of tree in a National Park, not about restoration or reclamation of the land, National parks are all about keeping the land "as is" and not "interfering" with nature by trying to restore it to what it possible was or could be.
You can't plant trees at the middle of a desert and expect them to survive! You have to plant trees in the arid areas adjacent to the desert first. Then gradually push your trees towards the desert area year after year!
The climate in China is not the same, much of the area in China that was deforested actually gets decent rainfall, places like this in California do not and have salt and rocks. You can't turn a desert into a forest unless the desert was once a forest...
You should see how China reforested the desert. The interior part of China forms part of the central Asian region of the Eurasian continent. It is one of the driest and harshest desert regions in the mid-latitude. There are so many youtube posts on how China claimed its desert. There is no way that the USA is drier than western China.
@@singaboiz I've seen many videos on what they are doing and it is clever, however, you still need rain for those trees to survive and those areas were originally forested. You can't go to the Sahara for example and plant a bunch of acacias and date palms and expect them to live without irrigation...it has been harsh desert for 10,000 years...I also think what is being done in China is greatly.exaggerated to improve its world image as the great polluter that it is...reduce your pollulation growth if you want to help the environment..

im watching this vid in 2018 is there a follow up to this video? thanks.
Okay its mid 2019 any updates?
The program was scraped. Lack of funding and the 10 hispanics hired to plant the desert all quit within days.

None of those will grow in that desert. Up the mountain, sure, but pines and cedar won't grow in Whitewater.

This is a 2010 vid, and the update is way overdue. Come on, people!
February 2021 watcher is there an update?
Well, this video was posted in 2010... how did the experiment turn out?

Yeah
Aww, you don't care... you have no Soul.
-Just kidding... still waiting, all of us.
pretty good.
Managed to grow trees on shattered rock.
Not even sand.
@@antediluvianatheist5262 wow i didn’t think i would find a person that commented in 2020
I’m watching this in June of 2019, did the project work?
i think u guys skipped a few step in using the groasis box, fertilize the soil prior to planting? use a plant that is already germinated with roots?
They are too shallowly planted according to the gnosis instructions aren't they?
GREAT PRESENTATION
5 milliseconds is all they have to show of the 5 year project!
Mr. Hof you Should revisit these projects, like in Spain do we can see the magic
Please give update...it’s been 8 years since you planted these seeds...
Worked great. Doing huge work in Spain and other countries.

Curious if there’s an update. 2021 atm.
Oh my Gosh, those are the same trees that I saw on Terminator 3: Rise of the machines.
an we have an update please. Im watching this in Jan 2019. Cheers.
It was scraped. They can only afford to hire 10 workers to plant the whole desert. That was just too much to ask from them

Biodegradável ?
Day to night working for plantaion must now very faster
any update on this?
The sides of the waterboxx must be barried with sand or soil or mulsh to perform as sun heat insulation!!
Update link please?
Cool but swales and permaculture do the same thing.

No updates? Pointless to view, then, as results can't be evaluated. Irritating background noise ~ rather have an informative narration.
fail experiment. just look at the no updated version
