DPWSA will provide water to crops and protect crops from direct heat, increasing food production in arid areas. Temperature differences and sea breezes are used to capture water from the air, and a network of structures traps it. The water is stored in containers under the soil. Water storage tanks diffuse water to supply crops. And prevent direct sunlight on plants, reducing water evaporation caused by exposure. Refugees can gather local crops as materials to make simple products that are later broken down back into the soil to provide plant nutrients.
