Synthesis, Characterization, and Application of Superhydrophobic Sands in Desert Agriculture

Synthesis, Characterization, and Application of Superhydrophobic Sands in Desert Agriculture

A sustainable supply of fresh water for the human population is a global concern. Intriguingly, about 70% of the total fresh water consumed in the world annually is claimed by agriculture alone; this fraction is even higher in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, where natural regeneratio...
