Capillary close up - EPIC saturated Zone
Close up view of the EPIC offset holes that seperate the bridging gravel from the inside of the EPIC chamber. This interface allows water to connect with the saturated zone and wick into the sand by capillary rise.
The offset holes prevent the EPIC chamber from clogging.

Capillary Rise in EPIC
The Environmental Passive Integrated Conveyance (EPIC) apparatus and method of sand hydroponics utilizes the adhesion and cohesion physics of water to mimic nature by passive irrigation. The result uses 75% less water than pressurized sprinklers or drip systems for irrigation.

USA EPIC RWH Solution Teaser
There is no water crisis, only an inefficient infrastructure and philosophy. A paradigm shift turning the umbrella upside down is a viable solution to capture millions of gallons of water with every rain storm.
All of the collection surfaces of the world, particularly roads and highways, can be harnesses to contribute as a new water resource.
The collection surfaces are already installed.
The right of way real estate is already acquired.
The step towards a holistic, sustainable future is intercept, filter, storage and passive irrigation of free water from the sky.
Precipitation and humid atmospheric capture and use becomes a viable solution using the EPIC road filter system.

Marc Price WATER and sand hydroponics endorsement of EPIC
Comedian and Actor, Marc Price endorses EPIC sand hydroponics and growing plants with captured rain water. The video was filmed in Hollywood to help support urban agriculture and sustainable passive irrigation. The EPIC greenhouse campaign was lead by Marc in 2014 to raise funds for research and development of a sustainable greenhouse design built by Jonas Sipaila using the EPIC system in Reno, NV.
Marc Price is a true advocate for the environment and sustainable practices, such as the Environmental Passive Integrated Conveyance technique of sand hydroponics.
8 years later the EPIC sustainable greenhouse continues to grow plants solely from rain water capture and reuse.

Eastern Sierra Hwy 395 time-lapse: Imagine the rain water harvest of a highway.
Imagine a new water resource along highways, where precipitation is filtered and captured on a massive scale. Stored underground there is no algae growth and no evaporation loss. The Highway becomes the collection surface and EPIC becomes the ROAD FILTER that manages and mitigates runoff pollution, while also storing a linear reservoir of water for future use moved by gravity, siphon, and /or solar pump.
Rural reservoirs to help fight wildfires, planting trees as windbreaks, mitigating nuisance water on the road surface that cause public safety issues, linear agriculture, watershed filtration, and water transfer to urban areas by an EPIC subsurface aqueduct system are just a few of the passive infrastructure total water solution techniques the Environmental Passive Integrated Conveyance can accomplish.

How french drains fail: particle intrusion into conventional drain pipe.
The folly of a typical french drain can be seen in this video.
Industry answered this fail by adding geo-fabric around drain pipes, but they also fail. Like leaving a coffee filter on for many weeks.
However, EPIC offset holes never clog because of our patented gravity trap. Reliable drainage and interface within a quicksand environment.
Visit EPICTWS.com for information on a french drain that never clogs. The Environmental Passive Integrated Conveyance (EPIC) that is Total Water Solutions.

Humidity Harvesting: Proof of Concept Time Lapse
Humid air is directed passively through the EPIC profile to capture condensation and harvest moisture from the air.
The water is then stored underground for future use.

Capillary Rise in EPIC sand: time-lapse
Over time, the adhesion and cohesion properties of water in the EPIC bridging gravel and sand profile can wick water very high above the water line.
This 4th state of water, an extension of the surface tension water film, is an ideal growing environment for plants to breathe and drink at nature’s discretion. Seed’s can germinate from the sand profile.
100% efficient passive irrigation has 60%-80% water savings compared to conventional irrigation techniques.
EPIC is passive and slow: at nature’s pace.
