Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rainwater regulation and storage technology, specifically to an interconnected plant irrigation rainwater regulation and storage layer. Background Technology

[0002] When upgrading urban drainage systems, priority should be given to retaining limited rainwater and utilizing natural drainage forces to build "sponge cities" that feature natural storage, infiltration, and purification. A sponge city is a new generation of urban stormwater management concept, referring to a city's resilience in adapting to environmental changes and responding to natural disasters caused by rainwater; it can also be called a "water-resilient city." The internationally accepted term is "low-impact development stormwater system construction." It absorbs, stores, infiltrates, and purifies rainwater during rainfall, and releases and utilizes the stored water when needed. As one of the water-scarce cities, Shanghai needs to collect rainwater and fully utilize the absorption, infiltration, purification, and slow release functions of green spaces to alleviate urban flooding, reduce urban runoff pollution load, conserve water resources, and achieve the goals of urban health and ecological security.

[0003] The description of a rainwater storage and irrigation system for green belts under elevated bridges (publication number CN205455048U) mentions "a filter screen, a base, and a new rainwater separation tank assembled from top to bottom, a drain pipe connected to the bottom of the side wall of the new rainwater separation tank, and a first overflow pipe connected to the top of the side wall of the new rainwater separation tank. The drain pipe is equipped with a new rainwater manual control valve for adjusting the flow rate of rainwater passing through the drain pipe. The drain pipe is connected to a rainwater well, and the first overflow pipe is connected to the water storage tank. A photovoltaic water pump is installed inside the water storage tank. A power supply device provides power to the photovoltaic water pump." However, the water storage tank in the prior art cannot flexibly change the water storage area, cannot be disassembled for independent use, and cannot automatically balance water filtration. Furthermore, it has a large load, requires a lot of backfilling, has high construction costs, and is neither flexible nor convenient. Utility Model Content
