  Super Absorbent Polymer for Agriculture   The foundation of Indian economy upon which nearly 30 percent of our GDP is based and around 60% of our population is directly or indirectly dependent, is agriculture. It has paved the way for many industrial developments over the years ergo playing a vital role in the Indian economic development. Indian irrigation infrastructure comprises nearly 39 mHa land by ground water, 22 mHa with irrigation canals, and 2/3 rd is still monsoon dependent. Water is one of the key elements in agriculture and agriculture requires significant amounts of water most of which is rain fed or harvested. Seeds and fertilizers fail to achieve full potential if plants are not watered regularly. With nearly 20% of the world’s population to feed, India has access to only 4% of fresh water resources, out of which 90% is used for agriculture. With regional and temporal variation of rainfall, and an average rainfall of 125cm, India is home to great spatial variat

About four-fifth of the total water supply, after going through various domestic and industrial applications revert to environment as contaminated water, making it unfit for re-use. But if treated and managed properly, a sizeable rate of this increasing demand can be dealt with, requiring most treatment plants to function optimally with proper physical and chemical mechanisms. Legally and ethically, wastewater must be treated before its exposure in the environment. The composition of wastewater varies as its’ sources, ranging from mildly polluted storm water runoff to toxic wastewater from chemical, pharmaceutical, and metal industries. Wastewater Management correlates with the purification of polluted water, making it re-usable for comprehensive applications. Pathogens, organic and inorganic matter, suspended solid, dissolved gases, toxic chemicals like pesticides, bio-solids, and many more unwanted substances interfere with water quality, changing its chemistry making treat

This human generation is going through some tough patches related to natural resources’ depletion, Water being an important one of them. The adversity has started to grow mainly in rain fed areas where nowadays due to uncertainty of sufficient rainfall, the demand for clean water is rapidly increasing and its availability for coming time is declining even faster. The gruesome fact is that the agriculture sector is on a verge of setback, reason being its consumption of most of the available potable water and the current irrigation practices are unable to even cater to the present requirement due to dissimilar landscapes of the sub-continent and their varied soil textures. These areas still follow the ancient techniques which not only lower the effective use of water but also decrease the use of available water for crops. Scarcity of water leads to drought, financial loss and other undesirable frailties like irregular price upsurge, lower productivity, increase in agro ruins etc

Agriculture and its related industries are one of the major contributor to the economy of a nation. The industry holds the key to the food security for the continuous population increase and only source of livelihood for most of the people residing in rural areas. Shortage of water leads to drought, monetary loss and other unwanted infirmities such as price upsurge, lower productivity etc. All these may not have a rigid or cent percent solution but their affects can be tamed and neutralized through physical and chemical means. Using of super absorbent polymer on agricultural fields. This revolutionary formulation not only solve the water related problem but also upgrade the soil texture. Upon its application, it mixes up with soil particles and swells up on contact with water. This swelling up of the polymer behaves like small packets of water and imparts moisture retaining property to the roots of the plants. As soon as the conditions become dry, it starts releasing water molecul
