Polyter

Polyter is an organic compound that absorbs a multiple of its weight of water. It is marketed as a solution for drought prone environments, as it may facilitate rain fed agriculture in regions experiencing erratic climate. It was invented already in the 90's. There has been recent media attention on that product recently, in particular a video on French TV. I does not seem to have been otherwise extensively tested by independent research institutes.
