Abstract

Natural irrigation system due to accumulation of Water, ecological.

The system, intended for watering trees, preferably by rainwater, it comprises a reservoir (1) buried, horseshoe-shaped and with a porous lid (4) that It allows the passage of water filtration. This way you can fill the tank (1) and store the water in it, for watering the tree (2) planted in the horseshoe hole. He tank (1) is waterproof, although it has an upper side part affected holes (5) for the entry of tree roots (2) and consequent self-feeding of this one. At the bottom it has a tube (8) that emerges outside, to through which fertilizers or others can be supplied products or even water, tube (8) that incorporates a rod inside (9) to measure the water level (10) in the tank (1). Optionally incorporates a side entrance (6) for supply direct water direct from the general supply network, with a internal buoy (7) with closing by level.

Description

Natural irrigation system due to accumulation of Water, ecological.

Object of the invention

The present invention relates to a system of natural irrigation by accumulation of water, ecological, planned for application preferably in the irrigation of trees that they supply the accumulated water from the rain or from a conventional supply network.

The object of the invention is to achieve savings of irrigation water, which is obtained and accumulated from that originated by the rain, allowing direct self-feeding by part of the roots of the tree, being also ecological.

Background of the invention

Generally, for the irrigation of trees, make an alcorque in correspondence with each of them, which It allows you to collect a certain amount of water, either from of rain, either coming from the a general network of supply.

The problem that arises is that the water gets filters immediately and disappears from the tree, so that the soil moisture on which the corresponding one is planted tree lasts a limited period of time, which is usually short in summer time, so there comes a time when the roots can hardly be fed with moisture, with the consequent slowness in tree development, even dying from lack of water.

Description of the invention

The system that is recommended has been conceived to solve the problem described above, based on a simple but enormously effective solution that meets all the Prospects that are intended.

More specifically, the system of the invention is characterized by comprising a horseshoe-shaped tank, intended to be buried underground, with a porous top cover to allow the passage of water by filtration and its entry into the tank inside the one that is stored, as a consequence of the latter being watertight to about half its height, while the upper half is affected laterally from a plurality of holes through which the roots of the tree planted in the concavity that defines the shape from the horseshoe of the tank, they penetrate and self-supply the water that is stored in the
inside.

In the event that rainwater is not enough for the storage of water required for the self-irrigation, a lateral entry is planned in the tank, to allow the filling of it through the supply of the general network (through a well, through a raft, etc.), having an internal buoy with level cut for closing, once the tank reaches the filling level correspondent.

In this case, appropriate buoy protections to prevent tree roots prevent its proper functioning.

In addition, from the bottom of the tank comes out a tube that projects upwards and emerges above the land surface, through whose tube you can enter, for example, fertilizers, in addition to incorporating a rod of filling measurement of the tank itself, even serving that tube for manual water supply.

As is evident, the rainwater that falls on top of the tank it seeps through the porous lid and remains stored in the watertight tank itself, being able to take advantage constantly for the irrigation of the tree that is semi-bordered by the horseshoe configuration of the tank, being advantageous in in regards to saving water for irrigation, as well as ecological by the use of rainwater, can be filled the deposit through the general supply network, or manually, etc., in case the rainfall does not cover the water storage facilities required for irrigation.

Description of the drawings

To complement the description that is being performing and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, according to a preferred example of practical realization of it, is accompanied as part member of that description, a set of drawings where with illustrative and non-limiting nature, what has been represented next:

Figure 1.- Shows a plan view upper of the horseshoe-shaped tank, as well as the contour circular corresponding to the trunk of the tree around which it remains located the deposit itself.

Figure 2.- Shows a representation according to a perspective of the same tank with the side entrance and the buoy filling, as well as the bottom tube that projects to above.

Figure 3.- Shows a section by a plane vertical of the buried tank, with the supply tube of fertilizers and the dipstick of the water level.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

As you can see in the referred figures, the natural irrigation system object of the invention comprises a Horseshoe-shaped tank (1) to surround the trunk (2) of a tree that will be located in the internal area of the contour of such horseshoe.

Said deposit (1) is buried under the land surface (3) and has a porous top (4) that allows the passage of water by filtration to fill the deposit (1), but prevents the passage of solid particles.

Up to an approximately intermediate height on tank is tight, while the rest of the lateral surface up is affected by a plurality of holes (5) that allow the passage through the roots of the tree (2) for self-feeding of this one.

In this way, rainwater can be collected and stored in the warehouse (1), specifically in the part waterproof corresponding to its inner half, performing that water collection by filtration of it through the lid porous (4).

In case the rainfall did not reach by if there is still a storage of water in the tank (1), has planned that it can be supplied by water from a well, of a raft, of the general supply network, etc. anticipating for this a side entrance (6) with a buoy (7) inside, by which you can cut the water inlet by level. Bliss buoy (7) will be protected by a cartridge or housing suitable for prevent the tree roots from affecting the tree (2).

On the other hand, as shown in Figure 3, from the bottom of the tank (1) comes a tube (8) that projects towards up to exceed the surface of the land, so that through said tube (8) products such as fertilizers, or even serve as input for supply manual water tank (1). In said tube (8) a vertical rod (9) by which the level can be checked (10) of the water inside the tank itself (1), and meet with This is the degree of filling or emptying of the latter.

Claims (3)

1. Natural irrigation system by water accumulation, ecological, characterized in that it comprises a tank (1) intended for burial and horseshoe-shaped to surround the trunk of a tree (2) planted in the hollow area that determines said configuration in horseshoe; with the particularity that the corresponding lid (4) for upper closure of the tank (1) is of a porous nature to allow the passage of rainwater by filtration, allowing the collection and storage of said water inside the tank itself (1 ), which is watertight to approximately its average height, from which its lateral surface is affected by holes (5) to allow the entry of the roots of the tree (2) and corresponding self-feeding of the latter. 2. Natural water system for water accumulation, ecological, according to claim 1, characterized in that the tank (1) has a lateral duct (6) for the entry of water from a general supply network or a well, raft or similar, internally incorporating a buoy (7) with level closure when the water reaches a predetermined level in the tank (1). 3. Natural water system for water accumulation, ecological, according to previous claims, characterized in that a tube (8) is projected from the bottom of the tank, projecting upwards until it emerges above the ground surface (3), for the supply of fertilizers or other products, or even for the manual supply of water inside the tank (1); said rod (8) having a rod (9) for checking the level (10) of filling the tank itself (1).
