Water absorption and water holding capacity of different soils mixed with MINIDRAIN system developed by the company ÖKO-TEX
Abstract
Minidrains and vegetation nets developed by the company ÖKO-TEX will help for a better distribution of water and air in the soils and increase the growth of vegetation and reduce the erosion of soils. MINIDRAIN is a patented system. There are four different combinations of Minidrains. a) Geotextile strips (e.g. 5x10x250 mm) b) Net formed strips (drainage nets) of different sizes c) Multilayer geotextile strips with humus, seeds or compost of different sizes (e.g. 10x30x200 mm) d) Multilayer geotextile net formed strips with humus, seeds or compost Minidrain will work as a water and air storage cavities which will provide sufficient water for the growth of vegetation in coarse grain soils.
