Description

  The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for collecting and storing rainwater and snow for irrigation.

  Some countries in the world are facing a critical period of water resources. Common methods for storing rainwater and snowmelt include creating a dam that leads to a river, or digging a water tank and introducing rainwater and snowmelt directly into the water tank.

  However, while conventional methods can store water directly, the construction of dams and the creation of reservoirs require a lot of labor and resources, and are geographically affected and limited. Furthermore, in order to fully use the water stored in the water tank, it is necessary to make a corresponding output device. When the stored water is used for irrigation of farms and forests, it is necessary to add more irrigation equipment, and the conventional method requires more labor and resources. Therefore, the utilization rate of rainwater and snowmelt is very low. In a position that emphasizes the harmony of humanity and today's natural world, and in an environment that tends to increase the economic and social development of dam construction, water tank construction, and other power and irrigation equipment installations In addition to damaging the human-friendly environment in nature and consuming a lot of resources, the stored water resources cannot be fully used, and the balance between the storage of running water and the use of stored water Can not take.

  The object of the present invention is to obtain a method and apparatus for collecting and storing rainwater and snow for use in irrigation, except for the disadvantages of the conventional methods.

  In the present invention, rainwater and snow that has flowed or leaked to a collector using a disposable container after being used as a storage, a conduit, and an introduction pipe in daily life is stored in the storage, and agriculture and forests are connected via the conduit. Used as irrigation water.

  In order to technically achieve the purpose of the present invention, rainwater and snow are collected and stored, and in the method of the present invention used for irrigation, rainwater and snow are immediately collected and stored in a collector on the spot and introduced into a storage.

The drain opening of the collector is connected to the inlets of a plurality of storages, or the drain openings of the plurality of collectors are connected via water conduits, and the water conduits are connected to the plurality of reservoirs. The bottoms of the plurality of storages are connected to each other.

  The water conduit is made up of a plurality of containers connected in series with each other. A female screw is formed in the recess at the bottom of each container bottle so that the male screw on the neck of the container bottle can be screwed into the female screw. A plurality of container bottles are connected in series via screws to form a water conduit. A seal ring is placed between the neck of the container bottle and the bottom of another container bottle. A bayonet that bends inward is provided in the female thread formed in the recess at the bottom of the container bottle. This bayonet is bent by a spring inside the internal thread.

  The conduit is connected to a storage at a lower potential energy location. In addition, slits or water leakage holes are formed in the water conduit and buried below the surface layer near the plant so that water leaking from the water conduit can create moisture for the plant.

  Used as the collector, storage and conduit, making the container including the pipe as a disposable container, that is, formed by a plurality of disposable mineral water containers, drink containers or other disposable container bottles in which the conduits are connected in a watertight series. To do. The storage itself may be disposable. The collector is formed by a series-connected grooved container made of disposable container bottles.

  The method of the present invention can be easily implemented. The apparatus of the present invention has a simple structure, and the collector, the water conduit and the storage used can be made of a commonly used disposable container, which can reduce the cost and increase the efficiency. Rainwater and snow can be collected and stored directly and quickly, and can be widely applied for irrigation of plants and forests without harming the environment.
