Method and equipment for the irrigation of deserts with sea water

摘要

Pipes are laid in hollows running inland from the sea. The angled initial part of the pipes is shorter than the angled outlet part, which extends down to the bottom of the hollow, while the following and every further outlet part extends deeper, in accordance with the depth of the hollow, than the preceding outlet part, and thus a continuous flow takes place from the sea or lake into all hollows. The pipes are made of lightweight concrete with synthetic-fibre reinforcement and desert sand. A suction motor which starts the water flow for the first time can be attached to a suction connection or valve provided. A real lake can be created in the desert by using many hollows.
