Biomimicry Applications in Agriculture to Benefit from Water Renewable Resources

Abstract: With coping or imitating life or nature (i. e. Biomimicry) to our field we will benefit from billions of years' experience, to produce product can live forever in difficult or critical situation with no waste or maintenance. Studying the way of plants, animals or insects adaptation to live in deserts and arid regions may help in establish a like model for the purpose of achieving sustainable development of water. The study is aiming to develop a vision for water supply sustainability by imitating nature and living organisms in its critical arid regions (e. g. Egyptian deserts). It presents examples of biomimetic models to obtain water from its renewable resources such as rain, fog, dew and desalination of sea water to be provided to arid regions. It is concluded that Biomimicry is the only way to sustain future which can help in non-stop providing of water to arid regions. It is recommended to use natural or eco-friendly resources for the purpose of achieving sustainability and clean environment at the same time and Obtaining water, from its renewable existing resources, using Biomimicry techniques and encourage governments to follow and fund the suggested techniques of obtaining water for agriculture and rural purposes, especially in arid regions.
