The method and device effectively prevent and control the pollutant content in the basin water to be input to farmland, thus reducing heavy metal content in crops. The above plan is a method for controlling water pollutants, while my plan is a method for subsurface irrigation.

Given the lack of water as a regional and global problem that is currently plaguing many countries in the world and knowing that about 70% of the world water is used in agriculture, the need to use ideas and technology. The use of polluted and polluted water sources or effluents for irrigation of agricultural and horticultural products and green space is always faced with limitations and causes environmental pollution or reduced plant yield. Subsurface irrigation nozzle with length adjustment is a device used in modern subsurface irrigation systems. With the ability to adjust the length to the desired size, this device enables the user to adjust the length of the device and install it in the desired location during execution, according to the various depths of the plant roots in the shade of the tree. It can also increase its length or relocate and service it in the following years due to the growth of the plant.

A central problem in the agricultural sector is the excessive use of water to get it deep into the soil. Water wastage, which has taken a step forward with the development of new irrigation methods, requires further development with the preparation and production of subsurface irrigation tools and equipment. Subsurface irrigation is another step forward from other modern irrigation methods to prevent water evaporation and weed growth.

One method of subsurface irrigation is to install vertical pipes in the ground with a dropper installed on top of it and deliver water to the plant at the appropriate depth. This causes the plant to send its roots to a greater depth and this means less water evaporates.

Current methods of subsurface irrigation of trees, which generally use perforated pipes, have problems that make them less popular. Wider drilling and high costs of perforated pipes, more service and maintenance costs, difficulty and heavy cost of upgrading the system due to plant growth and deepening of the roots over the years, which requires increasing the length of the pipe, for this reason, these subsurface systems are not very popular.

This device facilitates and complements the new irrigation tools in the subsurface section and can eliminate the weaknesses of vertical pipes. Including:

Solve the problem of the annual need to increase the length of the plot in the depth of the soil due to the deepening of the roots.

Easier annual maintenance service that is always needed in subsurface irrigation systems, such as clearing the pores of the plot from the penetration of tree roots, the possibility of the need to move the plot after a few years, and changes in roots and soil.

Solve the problem of needing different lengths at the time of execution due to different ground hardness or roots of old trees.

Solution of problem

Subsurface irrigation nozzle with the possibility of changing the length, allows it to adjust the desired length, to bring the water to the depth it likes because this depth in a garden can be very different depending on the different trees and soil type, in fixed lengths We always have the problem of protruding the end of the nozzle or lowering it too much, in this way it is easy to add or subtract a piece to the end of the nozzle.

The above design is a device for subsurface irrigation of plants that can be adjusted, assembled, and installed in the ground during the user's desired length at the time of execution and bring the water to the appropriate depth. This device consists of smaller parts that are fastened to each other and make the whole part and the desired length, its components are as follows:

A leading piece that is placed at the tip and with a spear-like shape.

The number of intermediate parts that make up the body and in fact by increasing or decreasing them, the length of the part is determined.

A few end pieces that stay out of the soil include a water distribution pipe holder and a protective drip cap and a filter mesh.

To the whole set, the possibility of adding magnets to magnetize water as an option for the consumer and also the placement of sponges in the vertical channel of the piece for further purification and sedimentation is also considered.

In this device, the middle parts form the main part and by increasing or decreasing them, the final length of the device is determined. These parts have holes in their body through which water leaks around and in the heart of the earth. It is also possible to keep the holes closed or open during the assembly of the parts so that the water reaches the desired level.

Assembly and disassembly of these parts are done in the form of fitting or screws or other fastening methods and each piece in the middle has an empty hollow channel that carries water. The shape of the inner cross-section of this part is designed as a hexagon instead of a circle and fits a hexagonal Allen wrench so that it is possible to apply rotational movements or it can be done by removing the part to maintain or expand the whole system. This device is installed on the ground and its installation method depends on the external shape that is designed and made, which means that if the external shape design is like a spear, it will be hit with a blow, and if its shape is a snail, it should be placed in a circle or taken out. The design of the exterior form and as well as the materials used in production can be designed and built in other forms depending on the needs and conditions of the soil.

Advantage effects of invention

Compared to similar parts, it is possible to change the length to the desired size every year, which is an important need in horticulture, because the growth of the tree and the deepening of the roots require that the part hydrate to a greater depth, in which case it can be easily He added a small piece to the end of the piece and led it deeper into the ground.

The second advantage is the ease of implementation compared to other subsurface irrigation methods because the part is designed with a smaller diameter and does not require drilling and related machinery. In addition, the roots of old trees are not damaged. This piece can be adjusted to the desired length during installation and installed on the ground.

Another advantage of this plot is economical even in traditional irrigations with old trees because it greatly reduces the duration of surface irrigation due to the rapid transfer of water to the depth of the soil and does not damage the roots of old trees by drilling.

The method of execution in metal materials is just to hit the end of the piece without the need for a leading hole.

The method of execution is in the type and sample with a screw body by twisting and sinking the piece in the ground or reverse rotation that removes the piece from the ground.

This device is used in modern subsurface irrigation. Especially in areas facing a water crisis, it can bring water to the depth of the ground and the roots of the plant with the least evaporation. Due to the possibility of determining the desired length in this device, the farmer is free to change the length of the plot in subsequent years and without re-imposing a financial burden, it can upgrade and use the same device over time.
