   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wicking_bed

   A wicking bed is an agricultural irrigation system used in arid countries where water is scarce, devised by Australian inventor Colin Austin. [1] It can be used both in (arid) fields as in containers. [2] Besides use in fields/ containers outdoors, it can also be used indoors (i.e. greenhouse ). The system is designed to increase food ...

3. Capillary action - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capillary_action

   Capillary action of water (polar) compared to mercury (non-polar), in each case with respect to a polar surface such as glass (≡Si–OH). Capillary action (sometimes called capillarity, capillary motion, capillary rise, capillary effect, or wicking) is the process of a liquid flowing in a narrow space in opposition to or at least without the assistance of any external forces like gravity.

5. Groasis Waterboxx - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Groasis_Waterboxx

   The Groasis Waterboxx is a polypropylene bucket with a lid. [5] It has a vertical tunnel in the middle for two plants. A wick allows water from inside the box to trickle into the ground via capillary action. The device mimics the insulating effect bird feces provide to germinating seeds. [6] [7] The box's lid is covered by tiny papillae, which ...

6. Sub-irrigated planter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sub-irrigated_planter

   Sub-irrigated planter ( SIP) is a generic name for a special type of planting box used in container gardening and commercial landscaping. A SIP is any method of watering plants where the water is introduced from the bottom, allowing the water to soak upwards to the plant through capillary action. [1] It is possible to automate the watering and ...

7. Solar still - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_still

   Wick basin solar still. The wick type solar still is a vapour-tight glass-topped box with an angled roof. Water is poured in from the top. It is heated by sunlight and evaporates. It condenses on the underside of the glass and runs into the connecting pipe at the bottom. Wicks separate the water into banks to increase surface area.
