The Groasis Waterboxx is a device designed to help grow trees in dry areas. It was invented and developed by Dutch former flower exporter Pieter Hoff,〔Witkin, Jim. (Developing a ‘Water Battery’ for trees ) ''New York Times'', 9 April 2010. Accessed: 5 December 2010.〕 and won the Popular Science Green Tech Best of What’s New Innovation of the year award for 2010.〔Jannot, Mark. (Best of What's New 2010: Our 100 Innovations of the Year ) ''Popular Science'', 16 November 2010. Accessed: 5 November 2010.〕〔(AquaPro Holland Groasis Waterboxx ) ''Popular Science''. Accessed: 5 December 2010.〕 ==Background== Large land areas in the world are too dry for trees to survive. Although water may be present in the ground, it is often too deep for small trees to develop a root structure to reach.〔 The Groasis Technology employs biomimicry〔Susan Kraemer, ("Inventor Uses Biomimicry To Create Dew" ), ''Cleantechnica.com''〕 to solve the problem of growing plants in deserts, eroded areas, badlands and on rocks. The purpose of this technology is to replant such areas, restore the vegetation cover and make them productive with fruit trees and vegetables.
