Objective
Waterworks argue for many years to take measures to:- Prevent- and combat drought,- Manage shortage of groundwater. Two third of the drought is caused by fast drain edge off rainwater. In build-on urban area's, no rainwater is able to enter the soil and the water is drained of to surface water. A new type of mineral based poraous tile has been invented, which allows (rain) water to pass thought. The tiles require research and development to optimize the adhesive agent in relation to porousness, strength and make it suitable for mass production. Moreover, a production machine must be researched and developed to produce series of mineral based poroustiles, i.e. in a series ready for all user groups. The production process will be a "cold production unit" and will not have any environmental impact. When used on a large scale, the product will tremendously reduce the amount of water that will flow unused into sewer systems.
