Holloway Technology Inc. has developed a process for large-scale irrigation of plants, which uses approximately 80% less water per plant than conventional irrigation systems. The closed-loop system has not drawn any water from surface, ground or aquifer sources since 1998, and has no agricultural wastewater runoff. To date, it has conserved over 100 million gallons of water.
