Tal-Ya Water makes the most of dew
Israeli company Tal-Ya Water Technologies has developed a reusable plastic tray that collects dew from the air to water crops. The tray, made from a special plastic composite, sits on the ground and funnels dew and condensation directly to the plant and its roots. The trays also block the sun, preventing weed growth, and protect crops from extreme temperature shifts. Field tests in Israel have shown water savings of up to 50% by using the Tal-Ya system. The company, founded four years ago, has collaborated with research institutions and is now selling its product to Israeli farmers and seeking international buyers.
