Greetings, my dear readers and critics!)

Today's article will describe the problem of groundwater, as well as an effective method of dealing with them. Do you have a lowland on your site, in which a large amount of moisture constantly accumulates? Then I wrote this article exactly for you.)

You can get rid of this problem in natural ways. There are some tree species that are true "water lovers". They drain all the soil around them, thereby stagnant water disappears without a trace. And you will save money on pumping services.

How does this happen

The process is simple enough and was explained in the biology curriculum at school. It's all about transpiration. It is a process in plants by which moisture is absorbed through the root system and then evaporated through the leaves and stems.

A small amount of water remains inside the tree to allow further growth. Everything else goes into vaporization. It protects plants from overheating during hot weather.

Certain species can take up to 850 liters of water from the soil every day. That is why several trees and shrubs with a high level of transpiration need to be planted on the site.

List of trees by the amount of moisture taken from the soil

Poplar has the highest transpiration rate. Every day he "drinks" from the soil about 850 liters of liquid. On your site, you are unlikely to want to plant it, because the poplar is very large. But it can be dropped off behind a fence. Even there he will cope with his task.

The list of trees looks like this:

• 1. Spruce - up to 280 liters.
• 2. Birch, bird cherry - from 150 to 250 liters.
• 3. Oak - from 200 to 630 liters.
• 4. Holly maple, willow - up to 300 liters.
• 5. Beech - from 70 to 200 liters.
• 6. Pine - up to 140 liters.

By planting several types of these trees, you will forever get rid of the problem of dampness on the site. By the way, they can also be planted near the cesspool. The water from them will quickly be absorbed into the roots of the trees, and then it will simply evaporate.
