Sahara Roots Projects
The Sahara Roots Foundation was established to
help conserve the Moroccan Sahara through
various development projects, thereby creating
a better future for the local inhabitants
The main projects of Sahara Roots are: tree
planting, irrigation system development, desert
cleaning and education. www.sahara-roots.org
Developed by AquaPro
“The ‘Groasis’ Waterboxx is introduced by
AquaPro Holland, a private company founded by
the inventor Pieter Hoff.The ‘Groasis’ Waterboxx
is a biomimicry technology, it’s an artificial copy of
how Mother Nature plants trees and bushes.
With the Waterboxx eroded areas including many
deserts (mainly caused by human activity) can
be restored with little effort and at low cost.”2

Millions of people could lose their homes and
livelihoods as the world’s deserts expand
because of climate change and unsustainable
human activities.
Sahara Roots has been planting trees in the M’Hamid
area for 3 years to help reduce desertification. To greatly
improve the survival rate of the newly planted trees we
have started to use AquaPro’s ‘Groasis’ Waterboxx.
“The ‘Groasis’ Waterboxx is an ‘intelligent water battery’
that produces and captures water from the air through
condensation and rain. The condensation is caused by
artificial stimulation and the water is captured through
physical capacities, without using energy.
The ‘Groasis’ Waterboxx makes it possible to plant trees
or bushes on rocks, on mountains, in gardens, in ashes
of recently burned woods, eroded areas or deserts or
any other place, without the help of irrigation with a
100% planting result. In moderate climates the ‘Groasis’
Waterboxx causes a 15 to 30% faster growth after the start.
There is no other planting solution comparable to this.”1
