Abstract
Algeria is one of the countries where water stress has become a concern due to its negative effects on all plant organs due to climate change and lack of rainfall.
The aim of this work is to study the Groasis waterboxx technique, designed to capture and store moisture from the air in the form of dew or rainwater and provides a good environment for the growth of plant roots to reach the places where water is available. The possibility of applying this technique in the state of Oum El Bouaghi due to the harsh weather that the region knows on 03 drought resistant varieties Argan Spinosa, Pistachios Verra, and Carob comman for their economic importance, And carob because of their economic and forestry importance and their resistance to drought and compared with the planting of the witness where the total number of trees 108 trees, the results were good for the success rate of shrubs 62% in Groasis waterboxx compared to the witness was 38%. Significant differences were recorded during the months of this study with regard to the average height, average diameter and average length of leaves where these averages knew an approximate increase for the Groasis waterboxx community unlike the witness community that knew a decline and this indicates that the technique is successful and can be adopted to reduce water stress.
