50% WATER SAVINGS Because of the sponge-like properties of humus, bio-agricultural farm management retains 30-50% more rainwater than conventional farming. In irrigation farming, such as rice growing, water usage is reduced by up to 50%, saving about a third of total water usage.
AGRICULTURAL WATER USAGE Seventy per cent of human water usage is in agriculture. Agriculture is the number-one user of freshwater worldwide.
