Abstract

A method for collecting and storing rain and snow and for irrigating and apparatus thereof, in which the containers wasted in daily life are processed and connected to be used as storages, aqueducts and outputting pipes, at first collectors are paced outdoors, after the rainwater or snow enters into the collector, the water within the collectors flows into storages through aqueducts, thereby collecting and storing the rainwater or snow; and the irrigation is made by inducing pipes connected to the storages with lower potential energy, the used apparatus comprises collectors, aqueducts and storages, the collectors are connected with the storages by the aqueducts, and the storages are connected with one another, and the storages positioned with lower potential energy are connected with the outputting pipes. The method of the present invention is easy. The structure of the used apparatuses is simple, and the collectors, the aqueducts and the storages used by the apparatus can be made of the wasted container bottle available in daily life, so there are advantages of reducing the cost, improving the efficiency, being beneficial to environment protection, and being widely applicable to agriculture and forest regions.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
