CAPILLARY ACTION
NENDO & ROOTS
Through optimization of clay pipe porosity and structure, the Nendo pipe will naturally release water into the surrounding soil through capillary action. Due to passive water permeation, there is no need for a consistent energy source for steady water transpiration. Gravity and pressure are our regulators and our pipes will do the rest.

DRY SEASONS GETTING DRYER
As extreme weather events become more frequent and unpredictable, efficient water management is crucial to mitigate droughts and ensure crop resilience. Embracing sustainable solutions not only conserves precious resources but also empowers farmers to adapt to the challenges of our changing climate, fostering long-term agricultural sustainability and food security for generations.
Understanding Soil Type
OPTIMIZING IRRIGATION
Whether it's sandy, loam, or clay—each soil type has unique water retention capabilities, affecting how efficiently plants can access moisture. By conducting soil type tests, farmers can tailor their irrigation strategies to optimize water usage, minimize runoff, and promote healthier crop growth, contributing to sustainable agricultural practices and environmental stewardship.
HOW WATER MOVES THROUGH SOIL
Dictating pipe porosity
Clay soil has very small soil particles. This allows water to be retained in large amounts
Loamy soil, which has an average particle size has properties inbetween those of sandy and clay soil
Sandy soil retains the least amount of water as the soil particles are large and cannot retain much water
System Layout
A tailored design for each site
Assembling a customized system accounts for variations in terrain, crop types, and water availability, ensuring optimal distribution and utilization of resources. With a bespoke layout, farms can maximize efficiency, reduce dependence on external energy sources, and embrace self-sufficiency in water management, ultimately fostering sustainable agricultural practices that endure without reliance on electricity.
