JUMBO BLOCK means soil protection, erosion control, security in agriculture
Discover how JUMBO BLOCK® makes a difference!
Agriculture
The excavation for the JUMBO BLOCK® (1) shafts can be used to fill the shown embankments (2). The farmer can monitor the water level and control irrigation through IoT sensors and control systems (3). Irrigation is carried out underground via a nozzle system (4) directly at the roots of the plants, significantly reducing the evaporation loss of precious water. The spaces between the embankments can be planted with resilient deciduous trees (5), shrubs, and herbs. Depending on the planting density, this creates a windbreak (6) that prevents soil erosion. Leaf and plant litter form new soil for microorganisms and insects.
Water Management, Soil Protection and Security of Supply in Agriculture
The JUMBO BLOCK® system offers innovative solutions to enhance water management, soil protection, and supply security in agriculture. Here’s how it contributes:
Water Storage and Irrigation
The system enables the creation of retention basins and ponds to capture and store rainwater. This stored water can be used for irrigation, promoting efficient water use and reducing consumption, especially in areas with limited water resources.
Soil Protection and Erosion Control
Earth embankments, planted with resilient trees, shrubs, and herbs, play a key role in reducing soil erosion. The system can also create terraces and slope reinforcements, preserving agricultural land and ensuring sustainable soil use.
Precise and Efficient Irrigation with IoT
IoT sensors allow real-time monitoring of soil moisture and environmental factors. This data enables precise irrigation, optimizing resource use, reducing water waste, and supporting sustainable agriculture.
Minimizing Evaporation and Efficient Water Use
Underground drip irrigation systems deliver water directly to the root zone, reducing evaporation and improving water efficiency. This method enhances plant growth while conserving water and protecting soil from drying out.
Reducing Erosion and Stabilizing Soil
Planting along embankments stabilizes soil and reduces erosion. The vegetation cover shields the soil from heavy rainfall, improves soil structure, and increases water absorption, contributing to more sustainable agriculture.
Flexible Design and Quick Installation
The modular design of the JUMBO BLOCK® system allows for flexible adaptation to various agricultural needs. It supports different irrigation methods and can be quickly installed to enhance water infrastructure and productivity.
Sustainability and Resource Conservation
By promoting efficient water use and reducing soil erosion, the JUMBO BLOCK® system supports sustainable agriculture, strengthens supply security, and improves resilience to climatic changes.
By implementing the JUMBO BLOCK® system, agriculture can benefit from sustainable cultivation methods, efficient water management, and the protection of valuable farmland.
JUMBO BLOCK® provides a solid and reliable foundation for efficient agricultural processes, ensuring sustainable and profitable cultivation of your fields.

Structure
Soil Erosion
Soil Erosion
JUMBO BLOCK® systems enable the easy creation of large water reservoirs. Environmentally friendly clay liners or special films can be used for sealing, with quick and customizable construction.
Soil Erosion
Soil Erosion
Soil Erosion
Wind and water erosion lead to the loss of fertile soil, a critical issue in agriculture. This degradation results in barren land devoid of essential microorganisms, compromising soil fertility and productivity.
Groundwater
Soil Erosion
Groundwater
Declining groundwater levels contribute to water scarcity, as agriculture consumes 90% of global water resources. By using rainwater instead of groundwater, we can help restore groundwater levels and support ecosystem recovery.

Rainwater Utilisation
JUMBO BLOCK® systems store rainwater at a consistent cool temperature, preventing algae growth and contamination. Each block holds approximately 13,900 liters of high-quality, low-lime water, ideal for agricultural use.
Periods of Drought
Environmental and Nature Protection
Environmental and Nature Protection
Climate change is extending drought periods, impacting agriculture worldwide. JUMBO BLOCK® systems allow for the storage of “winter water” to support irrigation during dry summers, helping to maintain crop yields.
