Abstract
The present invention relates to a water-storing and water-cleaning system. Said system is designed in such a manner that it can be used irrespective of location. It is used, inter alia, in agriculture, in horticulture and in reforestation. Said system comprises a reservoir (2) that is filled with a porous material (3), into which the water is seeped. In order to displace the seepage path, the reservoir (2) contains at least one barrier layer (5) made of a water-impermeable material, that separates the two layers made of the porous material (3) and comprises an outlet (6) for connecting the layers.
Claims38
A water management system for golf courses having an irrigation network (100), comprising:
- at least first and second water-storage and water-purification systems (1), wherein, each water-storage and water-purification system (1) comprises:
- (i) a substantially water-impermeable, artificial and outwardly delimited reservoir (2) which is filled at least partially by porous material (3);
- (ii) a plurality of barrier layers (5) for extending the seepage path of the water, wherein the barrier layers (5) are disposed within the reservoir (2), and each of the barrier layers (5) is provided with at least one passage (6) for water that may be selectively opened and closed;
- (iii) porous material (3) located above and below each of the barrier layers (5);
- (iv) a cultivation layer (10) applied to the porous material (3) above the uppermost barrier layer (5);
- and
- (v) a water-collecting container (4) which extends from the bottom of the reservoir (2) at least to a surface of the reservoir (2), wherein the water-collecting container (4) comprises an opening (7) above an uppermost harrier layer (5) and at least one opening (8) below a lowermost harrier layer (5), through which openings water can flow;
- wherein the first water-storage and water-purification system (1) is a main system, and the second water-storage and water-purification system (1) is a secondary system (1b), and
- wherein the main system (1a) and the secondary system (1b) are connected to each other by conduits (1c).
