Abstract

See full text

This invention is related to a gravity flow, multipurpose bidirectional nonpressurized climate smart subirrigation conduit apparatus for managing soil moisture and growing plants. The subirrigation conduit apparatus creates a suspended virtual water table at the desired buried depth, thus creating a anaerobic saturated zone and a capillary fringe. The capillary fringe is describe in the art as a moisture zone that has perfect air and moisture mixture for plant growth, can also be used to irrigate with high turbidity obstruction liquids such as precipitation runoff and alternative waters such as untreated greywater. When too much water is present within the landscape, the Multipurpose bidirectional nonpressurized climate smart subirrigation conduit apparatus can be used in reverse flow to drain the landscape. Bidirectional nonpressurized flow is achieved by gravity water equalization thus cutting any need for energy consumption.
