- Abstract
The article discusses the advances in diaper technology. Modern diapers are seemingly simple and innocuous throwaways. It uses polyfilms as a major component which keeps the baby's bottom dry. The diaper technology is being used to increase the moisture of soil in barren arid lands. Studies in the technology have been conducted in several countries. It is expected that future engineers will develop appropriate and inexpensive technology to hold the limited water for long in the soil.
