Abstract:
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. Background Art, Description of the Related Art including information disclosed under 37 CFR 1.97 and 37 CFR 1.98:

Claim (Index 1):
An multipurpose bidirectional nonpressurized subsurface irrigation conduit apparatus comprising of, said multipurpose bidirectional nonpressurized subsurface irrigation conduit apparatus buried deep enough as a mean to avoid soil solar vaporization and surface evaporation zone, said multipurpose bidirectional nonpressurized subsurface irrigation conduit apparatus with two or more channels types running parallel to each other continuously along the full length of the said multipurpose bidirectional nonpressurized subsurface irrigation conduit apparatus, at least one said channel type along the length of said multipurpose bidirectional nonpressurized subsurface irrigation conduit apparatus that is designated as a bidirectional liquid channel as a means to allow bidirectional liquid to pass freely along the full length of said multipurpose bidirectional nonpressurized subsurface irrigation conduit apparatus, at least one said channel type running parallel to said bidirectional liquid channel along the full length of said multipurpose bidirectional nonpressurized subsurface irrigation conduit apparatus, that acts as a self-leveling saturated channel as a means of holding water saturated soil, said self-leveling saturated channel is open at the top as a means to allow backfill soil to fill into the full cavity of said self-leveling saturated channel, said self-leveling saturated channel as a mean of creating a saturated zone within said self-leveling saturated channel walls, at less a shared bidirectional seep hole wall sandwich between said bidirectional liquid channel chamber and said self-leveling saturated channel, a plurality of bidirectional seep holes along the length of said shared bidirectional seep hole wall, said plurality of bidirectional seep holes large enough as a means to allow bidirectional obstruction liquid communication between said bidirectional liquid chamber and said self-leveling saturated channel, a impermeable exterior wall as a means to prevent liquid from percolating below said multipurpose bidirectional nonpressurized subsurface irrigation conduit apparatus, whereby the soil in said self-leveling saturated channel to become fully saturated as a means of creating said saturated zone thus causing a moisture zone above the said saturated zone that is ideal for plant growth.
