Happy New Year 2014
2013 was a very exciting year with very interesting and promising meetings. We
participated to several events and meet hundreds of persons who share with us
the same values: save water for the next generations, combat famine, combat
hunger, combat desertification... We want to thank you all and wish you a happy
and prosperous new year 2014 full of good health and success.
Bonne Année 2014
2013 fût une année très riche pleine d'évènements et de rencontres. Nous
avons pris part à plusieurs manifestations où nous avons rencontré des
personnes qui partagent les mêmes valeurs que nous: sauvegarde des eaux pour
les générations futures, lutte contre la famine, lutte contre la
désertification, lutte contre la sécheresse, etc. Nous tenons à vous
remercier et vous souhaitons une bonne année 2014 pleine de bonne santé et de
succès.

CHAHTECH awarded by The Agence Française de Développement
After The UNESCO, The World Bank, The ALECSO, The WIPO... CHAHTECH is proud to
be The Laureate of The African Forum ↆ 100 innovations for sustainable
development.
The event, which took place during the Elysée Summit - Paris 2013, gather 21
African innovators who contribute to sustainable development, African
entrepreneurship and inclusive growth, and help satisfy the basic needs of
populations while offering solutions to social and environmental crises. To this
end, the Forum brings together the most outstanding financial, technical,
technological, social, cultural and environmental innovations that serve
enterprise, society and the individual, that reinforce the community and reduce
the exclusion of the most vulnerable - notably women exclusion - and that lend
themselves to a rapid dissemination.

Updated documentation with more details and photos.
New brochure, New photos, New illustrations...
Our new brochure is available online... You can download it from our Website or
view it directly on Slideshare.
Our website was also updated with more details on each Buried Diffuser model, a
FAQ section, more images and videos...
Distribution Network and partners

2. The Buried Diffuser and The Draining Floater are now available in more than 15
countries including all continents (Angola, Bahrain, Belgium, Botswana, Eritrea,
Ethiopia, Chili, Ghana, Jordan, Kenya, Luxembourg, Malawi, Mali, Mauritania,
Morocco, Mozambique, Namibia, Netherlands, Nigeria, Oman, Rwanda, Saudi Arabia,

Hydroponics farming using The Buried Diffuser
Coco Peat Cube Feasibility Trial. Discover what we can do with only ONE LITER OF
WATER
Our USA Partner, Mr. Chuck Toussieng Sr. made a fascinating trial using The
Buried Diffuser for the irrigation of plants in a Coco Peat Bag... The
observations/results are highly interesting. He's conclusion was: "The 15x15
Buried Diffuser is a perfect and economical solution to revolutionizing
hydroponic and raised bed greenhouse cultivation."

Climate Change Mitigation using The Buried Diffuser (by Dr. Bellachheb CHAHBANI)
Drought and flood are facts everywhere in the Globe (arid, semi arid and humid
regions). Obviously Man can not change the climate, stop tornadoes, torrential
rains, floods and stop droughts.
We have to review our behaviours toward water resources and review our existing
technologies which contribute in the lost of the fossil water tables. Just one
example: the big circles producing cereals in desert conditions, using pivot
irrigation technology, are a real catastrophe.
We have also to find new ways and methods to  cooperate  with exceptional
heavy rains and with droughts (short seasonal drought and long 2 till 3 dry
years). Exceptional heavy rains cause dramatic floods ; This huge quantities of
water, after causing disasters, are lost in oceans, seas, salt lakes and
deserts.
Is It possible to avoid this water lost? Is it possible to store this water for
next drought periods? Where such water quantities can be stored? CHAHTECH has
been working on these questions, made trials and get promising answers.
Our experiences in fields demonstrate that the deep soil layers are the most
convenient, cheapest and biggest reservoir where water can be stored. More than
that, it's exactly where plants will look for water.
We tried this concept using The Buried Diffuser. It's obviously a suitable
technique to achieve this goal. In the next few lines, we will introduce 2 new
concepts based on our trials: The Anticipated Irrigation and the Water Injection
and Storage in the deep soil layers using Buried Diffusers.
Anticipated Irrigation:
The Anticipated Irrigation using Buried Diffusers consists in irrigating during
the autumn and winter or during the rainy season (when water is abundant)
instead of doing it during the hot or the dry season (when water is rare and
expensive) . The water amount of the "Anticipated Irrigation" should cover the
total need of the crop during the hot or dry season (spring and summer). This
water amount, stored in the deep soil layers, will be used by the deep or sub
surface roots systems of the crops.
Water Injection and storage in the deep soil layers:
Water Injection is useful especially for trees crops. The injected water comes
from: dams, rivers and springs. When the soil below 50 cm is thick (1 meter or
more) and contains minimum 10 % of clay, the amount of the injected water could
cover the need of the trees for 1 to 3 years. This injected water is conserved
(stored) in the deep soil layers (50 cm below the topographic soil surface) and
used later by the deep root systems of the trees during a short or a long
drought period: six months till 3 years. During the drought, trees produce

3. normally using the injected and stored water. In other words, farmers will be
able to regulate their incomes and their ability to produce foods for
populations.
In addition to drought mitigation, this water injection will significantly
decrease water levels in rivers, dams... It means that we increase their storage
capacity and hence exceptional rains won't cause floods or at least will limit
their effects.
Water Injection can be done using The Draining Floater to pump and distribute
the water without any energy, no maintenance, no CO2 emission, no pollution,...
More details can be found in our brochure (page 52)
Anticipated Irrigation and Water Injection and storage in the deep soil layers
have been tested in Tunisia on Fig and Olive trees. More details can be found in
our brochure (pages 22 - 28) and on our website
Next Events
2014 will be full of new exciting events. We will work hard to bring all the
models of The Buried Diffuser and The Draining Floater to every corner of the
globe especially where water is rare and expensive. We will work hard to build
trials related to Anticipated Irrigation and Water Injection and Storage for
drought mitigation.
During the first quarter of 2014, CHAHTECH will be at
â–ª GFIA 2014: Dr. Bellachheb CHAHBANI is invited as a speaker. CHAHTECH will
also hold a stand (IZ13) and make demonstrations. We will be delighted to meet
you at this event, please contact us for more details: bchahbani@chahtech.com.
â–ª Demonstrations in The USA: CHAHTECH and its Partner USA Merchant Team, LLC
will make trials and conferences about the use of The Buried Diffuser. Please
contact us for more details.
â–ª Demonstrations in Africa: Our African partners will organize training
