Abstract
The present invention is a system for treating land, either to reclaim or optimize the land. Embedded subsurface pipes deliver water to the land. The water may be loaded with soil-treating additives. As water streams from the pipes, it treats the land before passing into a drainage ditch around the periphery of the land. The water is removed from the ditch and recycled, removing contaminants (in reclamation operations) or adding more additives (in optimization operations), before returning to the pipes for another round of treatment, if necessary.

-20. (canceled)
A method for treating land, comprising:
- circulating a stream of water such that the stream of water travels from at least one pipe loop to a plot of land in which the pipe loop is embedded,
- continuing to circulate the stream of water such that the stream of water drains by way of gravity through a surface of at least one drainage trench to the at least one drainage trench, wherein the at least one drainage trench is lined along at least one surface with a liquid-permeable membrane, and
- continuing to circulate the stream of water such that the stream of water travels from the drainage trench and back to the at least one pipe loop.
