[0025] In order to deepen the understanding of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. The embodiments are only used to explain the present invention and do not limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0026] Example 1

[0027] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the four-in-one rainwater collection and irrigation system for dryland farmland interception, extraction, storage and replenishment includes a water interception unit 1, a photovoltaic power generation water extraction unit 2, a high-level water storage unit 3 and an irrigation water replenishment unit 4.

[0028] The water interception unit 1 has various forms, including dams set in the ditch, which are used to store water and supply water to the irrigation water replenishment unit 4 for irrigation. Ditch dams, interception subsurface flow and other methods are used to intercept and store rainwater resources to the greatest extent. Ditch dams can utilize existing silt dams, rolling dams and pond dams in the ditch. If newly built, safety design and verification procedures such as flood control and stability are required. The interception subsurface flow is generally composed of a cutoff wall, a water collection corridor, and a water filtration well. The cutoff wall should be determined according to local materials, the amount of water diverted, and the technical and economic conditions of construction. It is mostly made of rammed clay, and can also be built with mortar block stone or concrete. The cutoff wall should be built on an impermeable layer. The thickness is determined by the size of the water head, and the bottom and top should be greater than 1m. The water collection capacity of the interception subsurface flow can be calculated according to whether there is surface runoff on the riverbed.

[0029] The photovoltaic power generation and water pumping unit 2 includes a photovoltaic power generation component and a water pump water pumping component. The photovoltaic power generation component is used to convert solar energy into electrical energy to drive the water pump to pump water so that it can be used immediately. The water pump water pumping component is used to transfer the water stored in the water blocking unit to the high-level water storage unit through interconnected water pumps and water pipes.

[0030] According to the kinetic energy requirements for water pumping, several photovoltaic panels are configured to form a photovoltaic array to drive the photovoltaic water pump. The microprocessor in the inverter continuously monitors the photovoltaic power level and adjusts the frequency of the photovoltaic water pump to achieve zero-electricity-cost water pumping in areas without power transmission and distribution. The photovoltaic inverter must meet the kinetic energy requirements of the photovoltaic water pumping unit to prevent breakdown. The annual sunshine hours at the location where the photovoltaic power generation water pumping system is laid should be no less than 1600 hours, and the annual total solar radiation should be no less than 1000kW·h / (m 2 a) Ability to withstand the maximum wind speed once in 50 years.

[0031] The high-level water storage unit 3 includes a large open hot-melt polymer fabric anti-seepage and anti-evaporation water storage container located at the top of the field, a PE expandable assembled water storage container and a corrugated steel plate assembled water storage container, which are used to store water and supply water to the irrigation and water replenishment unit 4 for irrigation.

[0032] The system consists of a water-blocking unit 1, a photovoltaic power generation and water pumping unit 2, a high-level water storage unit 3, and an irrigation and water replenishment unit 4. The system uses the water-blocking unit 1 to block and store rainwater, the photovoltaic power generation and water pumping unit 2 to generate electricity and pump water, the high-level water storage unit 3 to store water, and the irrigation and water replenishment unit 4 to replenish water, thus achieving efficient utilization of rainwater resources through multiple coordinated approaches.

[0033] Example 2

[0034] Combine Figure 3 As shown, compared with Example 1, this embodiment also includes the following features: the water storage container adopts a water reservoir 31, and the water reservoir 31 is provided with an anti-seepage and anti-evaporation device, which can significantly reduce the leakage loss and evaporation loss of the water reservoir.

[0035] 4. The evaporation prevention device includes floating modules 32 and a heat-melting polymer fabric 33. The floating modules 32 float on the surface of the water in the reservoir 31. Each floating module 32 is wrapped with a heat-melting polymer fabric and fixed to the heat-melting polymer fabric 33 base fabric laid above it via heat-melting welding. The heat-melting polymer fabric 33 is supported by each floating module 32 above the surface of the water in the reservoir 31. The floating modules 32 are arranged at regular intervals and wrapped with the heat-melting polymer fabric 33. The heat-melting polymer fabric 33 is then welded to the heat-melting polymer fabric 33 base fabric via heat-melting welding. The floating modules 32 support the heat-melting polymer fabric 33 at the surface of the water, significantly reducing water evaporation from the reservoir 31. Reservoirs are typically located on undisturbed soil foundations. The excavation pit is excavated according to the principle of cut-and-fill balance, and the reservoir body is in the shape of an inverted trapezoid. When the soil foundation is medium- to strong-collapse loess, measures such as pre-settlement by immersion in water are adopted.

[0036] The hot-melt polymer fabric base fabric 33 is provided with a plurality of plum blossom-shaped drainage holes. Rainwater can be drained downward into the reservoir 31 through the drainage holes. The aperture and density of the openings are determined according to local rainfall, and the maximum aperture is not more than 50 mm.

[0037] The bottom and water-facing surface of the water storage tank 31 are provided with a hot-melt polymer fabric anti-seepage liner, which can reduce water penetration into the soil layer.

[0038] Example 3

[0039] Combine Figure 4 Compared to Example 1, this embodiment also features the following: the water storage containers are multiple PE water tanks 34 buried below the soil layer, interconnected in series or parallel. This facilitates capacity expansion, allows for winter water storage, and reduces evaporation.

[0040] Example 4

[0041] Compared to Example 1, this embodiment also features the following: the irrigation and water replenishment unit 4 includes a pipe and a sub-membrane drip irrigation device. One end of the pipe is connected to the high-level water storage unit 3, and the other end of the pipe is connected to the sub-membrane drip irrigation system, which is installed in the field. Using existing, mature sub-membrane drip irrigation devices and small-tube outflow irrigation methods can significantly improve irrigation water utilization.

Using existing mature irrigation equipment can significantly improve the irrigation utilization rate of water.

It integrates water interception, water pumping, water storage, and irrigation. Firstly, it can significantly improve the utilization rate of rainwater resources. Secondly, it explores a new model of agricultural irrigation in mountainous areas without power grid coverage.

[0046] The high-level water storage module uses a floating anti-evaporation structure, covering the water in the pool to reduce water evaporation loss. The membrane is provided with small leakage holes, and the opening density of the membrane meets the following requirements: opening area ratio = (annual evaporation / annual precipitation) × adjustment coefficient K, where 0.1≤K≤0.15.

[0047] The intelligent irrigation module consists of an underground water pipe network, a field irrigation system, and automatic control facilities. The buried depth H of the underground water pipe network satisfies the following conditions: H = 0.4D + Δh, where D is the depth of the crop taproot layer and Δh is the permafrost correction value.
