Abstract/Contents:Discusses cross-linked polyacrylamide, "a gel-forming water-absorbing polymer which can absorb up to 400 times its weight in deionized water, and which...has a known lifespan of over 8 years." States that "the polymer, a rock-salt-sized granular material incorporated into the soil, acts as a diverse reservoir." Briefly discusses use of the polymer for turf, trees, and flowers.
