Putting By-Product Water On Our Thirsty Land - Benefit #5: Carbon Sequestration

CBD for Print.001.jpeg

Remember photosynthesis? Sure you do. It’s the process that happens to vegetation when sun and water hit a plant. The plant releases oxygen and – remember what happens next? That’s right, the plants pulls carbon out of the air. Vegetation trades carbon for oxygen.

As we look over the arid West, we don’t have a lot of photosynthesis going on. Any idea why?  That’s right, we don’t have water.

But a major benefit of taking the by-product water, cleaning it to match the soil and applying it to the land with a fail-safe method is that vegetation grows. And where vegetation grows, carbon sequestration happens.

We made a pretty cartoon to help explain. Take a look HERE and lets talk!
