Abstract

An environmental water resource recycling system of the invention comprises pluralities of drainpipes units, which includes pluralities of drainpipes engaged in pluralities of holder holes formed by coupled frame strips, and sealing lids covering the opening at one end of the drainpipes. An instant water-absorbing sand layer is applied on the soil layer exposed on the ground surface before inserting the lower end of the drainpipes held in the drainpipe unit into the sand layer. Concrete is poured onto the ground to be constructed such that the concrete can integrally cover the drainpipe units. The sealing lids can be removed from the openings on the upper end of the drainpipes after the concrete is solidified, thereby accomplishing a permeable paving and instantly draining the rain on the permeable paving to the sand layer and further to the underground for being recycled as water resource for further utilization.

Claims6

Dependent claims

A method for constructing a water resource recycling system, primarily characterized in a permeable paving constructed on the ground;

the paving comprises drainpipe units integrally formed with concrete;
the method thereof including the following steps:
(a) connecting the pluralities of drainpipe units with each other, each drainpipe unit being composed of pluralities of drainpipes and at least one connecting frame strip;
each drainpipe is provided with a sealing lid on the opening at the upper end;
and the pluralities of drainpipe units can be connected to form an area or shape as desired;
(b) installing the pluralities of drainpipe units into the ground after the ground has been leveled and the soil has been exposed, with the drainpipes inserted into the soil;
(c) pouring concrete onto the ground to be constructed such that the concrete can cover the drainpipe units, in order to accomplish the permeable paving;
and
(d) removing the sealing lids from the openings on the upper end of the drainpipes after the concrete is solidified;
thereby the rain on the permeable paving can be instantly drained to the underground through the hollow drainpipes and recycled as water resource for further utilization;
wherein the drainpipe units mentioned in step (a) are connected to each other;
holder holes and connecting bands are provided on the connecting frames, while extrusions and apertures are provided at two sides of each drainpipe unit, thereby the extrusions can be combined with the holder holes to form a great area.
