Senwametsi, Selamanzi, Water-drinker is a Pottasium Poly-acrylate Super Absorbent Polymer (SAP) which is a new environmental protection material with good water absorption and water-holding capacity (hundred times of its own weight). SAP increase the water holding capacity of soils for several years and may reduce the irrigation frequency by 35-80%.

​

• 100g of the water retainer absorbs water 350 times its own weight of water as it grows into jelly-form when in contact with water. Senwametsi, Water-drinker can be considered a water bank as it grows and captures the water in jelly-form for a long period.  

​

• The superabsorbent is composed of a small percentage of pottasium polyacrylate (about 10%) and the rest is water. It releases the water slowly for plants in the soil for a long time. By long we mean 2-5 YEARS. 

​

• It is biodegradable, and provides nutrients to plants as it is simply water. The product is white granular particles that work like magic when in contact with water. 

​

• Senwametsi can be used for seedlings in the nursery, for lawns (reduces amount of watering to 4-6 times a month), for food gardens, trees, and plants. To work effectively, Water-drinker can be applied as granular powder and covered by soil or in jell-form at root level. 

​

This is the same technology used for nappies, and widely used in horticulture.

The superabsorbent is powerful it can be used to fight veld fires by pouring over the surrounding areas of the fire. 

​

This is the solution to our water shortages as it is drought resistant, eco-friendly, biodegradable, affordable, convenient, easy and safe to use.
