How does it work?

Riegogel is composed of long chains of polymers parallel to each other that join together forming a network. When water comes into contact with one of these chains, it is absorbed by osmosis. Water quickly migrates into the polymer network where it is stored.

This is how Riegogel solid and granulated form to become a water gel. The absorption capacity of the polymers is greater than that of the soil, but less than the roots of the plants, so the water will be released gradually when they need it.
