Due to the design of the device, the condensation is produced and captured without using any energy. Installing a Waterboxx begins with digging a 4-6 inch hole that allows the Waterboxx to sit at the surface. After digging, the hole should be filled with 5 gallons of water to help restore soil capillary systems and allow for better water retention. At this point, the Waterboxx can be installed and is ready for planting, with an 8-shaped notch at the top providing space for plant growth while reducing evaporation.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3048\" style=\"width: 194px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/epcamr.org\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Waterboxx.preview.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3048\" data-attachment-id=\"3048\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/epcamr.org\/home\/2014\/epcamr-works-with-appalachian-coal-country-team-on-waterboxx-research-initiative\/waterboxx-preview\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/epcamr.org\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Waterboxx.preview.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"184,188\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Waterboxx.preview\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;Schematic of a Waterboxx&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Schematic of a Waterboxx&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/epcamr.org\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Waterboxx.preview.jpg\" class=\" wp-image-3048 \" alt=\"Waterboxx.preview\" src=\"http:\/\/epcamr.org\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Waterboxx.preview.jpg\" width=\"184\" height=\"188\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-3048\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">This diagram shows the interior of a Groasis Waterboxx.

The culm acts similar to sand, allowing for little moisture retention, making it difficult for native plants to sustain life. The Waterboxxes, which are designed for environments with poor water retention, will help to solve this problem and allow for more variation in plant life on the Memorial Park property.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3026\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/epcamr.org\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/548905_10151798424074095_432189418_n.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3026\" data-attachment-id=\"3026\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/epcamr.org\/home\/2014\/epcamr-works-with-appalachian-coal-country-team-on-waterboxx-research-initiative\/548905_10151798424074095_432189418_n\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/epcamr.org\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/548905_10151798424074095_432189418_n.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"960,720\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"548905_10151798424074095_432189418_n\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/epcamr.org\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/548905_10151798424074095_432189418_n.jpg\" class=\" wp-image-3026 \" alt=\"548905_10151798424074095_432189418_n\" src=\"http:\/\/epcamr.org\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/548905_10151798424074095_432189418_n-300x225.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/epcamr.org\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/548905_10151798424074095_432189418_n-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/epcamr.org\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/548905_10151798424074095_432189418_n.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-3026\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ray Clarke, HBPS Chairman and Treasurer, helping Troop #152 scouts dig a Waterboxx hole after hitting the Engine House Foundation.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>After EPCAMR obtained the funds to begin the reforestation project at the Miner&#8217;s Memorial Park, Charlie Jones, an Eagle Scout candidate, decided to organize his Boy Scout Troop #152, Forty-Fort, to assist EPCAMR.
