A process for gradually providing water to an object utilizing a gel material having a releasably bound water. The gel material possesses a pre-determined morphological stability which may be linked to a pre-determined rate of release of the water from the gel. The gel is placed in the chamber of a container which has an opening which communicates with the chamber. The container is placed adjacent the object to permit the gel material to contact the object by way of the opening to the chamber of the container. |
