Water and green Techmologies." 311. 6 Apr 2009. www.waterandgreen.com 26. Hydrosol allows any type of plantations in all types of soil and is a determining element in the struggle against erosion and water saving. (SH & HC) 27.

It reduces the use water by reusing the water. And that is very helpful because it uses the same water and does not let the water go to streams. (CD & SH) 30. Hydrosol products demonstrate no systemic toxicity. (SH) 31. Hycrosol is better and cheap. (CD)

Wastewater Treatment Water use."1. 6 Apr 2009. [|www.http://ga.water.usgs.gov/edu/wuww.html] 32.
