Water structuring is the process of altering the structure of water to optimize its ability to support life. The benefits of water structuring in agriculture include improved soil structure, increased plant growth and yield, and reduced water usage.\n\n\n## 💦 Progress\nWith your support, we turned our idea into a fully functional, physical prototype.\n\n[![watercycle-design.gif](https://i.postimg.cc/bNN3C2td/watercycle-design.gif)](https://postimg.cc/NLS6LFbw)\n\nOur very first 3D print came in the mail recently.\n\nWe were delighted to discover that the prototype is watertight and fully functional.\n\n[![watercycle-v0.gif](https://i.postimg.cc/PqbJ9JgF/watercycle-v0.gif)](https://postimg.cc/d71JTst8)\n\n\nWe connected it to a a spigot, a hose and a recirculation pump.\nAll worked flawlessly.\n\n\n## Roadmap Status\n**Here's a quick summary of where we stand today:**\n\n✅ | Research existing water structuring devices\n✅ | Design low-cost prototype water structuring device\n✅ | 3D print prototype and run preliminary experiments\n✅ | Open source prototype design\n🔄 | Cast first batch in copper\n🔄 | Run pilot program with farmers\n\n\n## 🚰 Deliverables\n\nYour contribution will directly fund:\n1) Our first production run of watercycle in copper.\n2) Conducting the first pilot program for watercycle with local farmers.\n\n\n## 👨‍🔬Team\n\nHi, I'm Daniel Friedman  ~ I'm grateful to you for reading this, actively caring about our planet and supporting watercycle.\nIt's a dream come true to devote myself to this project and bring this vision of revitalized water to life —  for us all, and all of our plant allies.\n\nThank you 🙏\n\n## 📜 The Story\n\n**What is water structuring?**\n\nWater structuring is a term to describe the process of organizing water molecules into a more coherent state. A finely tuned water structuring device emulates the natural flow of water to optimize its life giving effect on humans and plants alike. Water naturally loves to be in motion, like a waterfall or a winding river — water structuring brings the movement and vitality to water that may have been sitting still in tanks and pipes.\n\n**The Problem**\n\nSeveral water structuring devices are currently available and have demonstrated promising results in agriculture, but the technology hasn’t crossed over yet as a major regenerative agriculture solution.\n\nAvailable water structuring devices used in agriculture today are closed source, relatively expensive, not well known, not well distributed and do not have high legitimacy. (Vitalik outlines legitimacy well here: [https://vitalik.ca/general/2021/03/23/legitimacy.html](https://vitalik.ca/general/2021/03/23/legitimacy.html))\n\n**The Solution**\n\nWe are designing an effective, low-cost and open-source water structuring device; while creating legitimacy for that device through thoughtfully conducted and well publicized decentralized scientific evidence.\n\nWe hope to collaborate with ImpactDAOs and MRV (Measurement, Reporting and Verification) efforts to offer regenerative farmers a low-risk, low-maintenance and potentially high reward solution to their farms.\n\nWe believe water structuring is a key drop-in solution with the potential to significantly accelerate natural carbon sequestration while reducing water requirements and significantly bolstering yields for regenerative farmers.\n\nWe believe that through building open-source tools and collaborating with ImpactDAOs we can positively impact farms of all sizes around the globe.\n\n\nThank you 🙏", "logoImgData": {}, "bannerImgData": {}, "projectGithub": "", "projectTwitter": "friedmanspace"}
