[0020] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown in the figure, this embodiment provides a water transport structure suitable for a rainwater harvesting and utilization greenhouse, including a head boat 1, a tail boat 2, and multiple intermediate boats 3 located between the head boat and the tail boat. The head boat 1 is connected to the first intermediate boat 3 via a universal joint 4, adjacent intermediate boats 3 are connected via universal joints, and the last intermediate boat 3 is connected to the tail boat 2 via a universal joint 4. The head boat and / or tail boat are powered boats, and the intermediate boats 3 are unpowered boats. A ring-shaped water storage tank 5 is provided inside the greenhouse. Pool 5 is used to store rainwater. Inside pool 5, a guide rail 6 is provided around the pool, with the two ends connected to form a closed loop.
