Abstract The transpiration mechanism has been proposed for rerouting as it is the
main cause of groundwater loss which is also causing significant global warming
by releasing water vapor into the air. Since electrostatic force has the tendency to
tug down the water, a static electricity force creating plastic tank has been proposed to install at the bottom of plants to capture the transpiration water vapor and
treat it in situ by applying UV technology to meet the daily water demand throughout the world.

Introduction
Plants give O 2 and take CO 2 by the process of photosynthesis to keep the global
environment in balance. Plants are simply the hero for the environment; unfortunately, hero plants are also the villain for the environment which plays the significant role in causing global warming. The body of plants needs water for the reaction
of biochemical metabolism for its growth [1]. This water is taken up by the cohesiontension mechanism of the soil (groundwater) through the roots, transported by
osmosis through the xylem to the leaves of the plants [2]. Interestingly only a mere
0.5–3% of water is used by plants for their metabolism and the rest of water is
released into the air through stomatal cells by transpiration process [3, 4]. This process of transpiration is causing the largest loss of groundwater that is also causing
global warming, since this water vapor is a notable cause for global warming.
Recent studies on transpiration and groundwater relationship have been discussed
along with terrestrial water fluxes where their water models reveal that streamflow
is getting lower due to the plant transpiration [1, 4]. These are very interesting findings, but no mechanism has been studied yet to trap this transpiration water for
meeting global water demand. In this research, therefore, a technology has been
