Abstract

See full text

A method of absorbing falling precipitation to prevent the falling precipitation from reaching an area for an activity includes spreading a sufficient amount of a water absorbent including superabsorbent granules over the area prior to or during the falling precipitation so that the superabsorbent granules can absorb the water before the falling precipitation can reach the area wherein the activity can immediately occur after the falling precipitation stops and the water absorbent is removed. Another method of absorbing falling precipitation to prevent the falling precipitation from reaching an area for an activity includes placing an application bag over the area prior to or during the falling precipitation, wherein the application bag includes a sufficient amount of superabsorbent granules inside a casing, wherein the superabsorbent granules can absorb the falling precipitation before the falling precipitation can reach the area, and wherein the activity can immediately occur after the falling precipitation stops and the application bag is removed.
