AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Achieving homogeneous irrigation of vegetated vertical structures is challenging due to uneven water distribution, with plants at the top receiving excess water or those at the base receiving insufficient water, regardless of the irrigation method used.
Method used
A method involving the conveyance of a first flow of liquid to a first altitude, distribution into multiple second flows with lower flow rates, and gravity-guided distribution to distinct lower altitudes, with flow rates and altitudes tailored to achieve uniform irrigation based on humidity measurements.
Benefits of technology
Ensures uniform water distribution across the vertical structure, overcoming pressure imbalances and achieving improved irrigation homogeneity, even with natural porosity variations.

Abstract
This description concerns a method for irrigating a vertical vegetated structure (1) comprising: conveying a first flow (F1) of a liquid to a first elevation (A1) of the vertical vegetated structure (1); dividing the first flow (F1) into a plurality of second flows (F2, F2', F2'') of the liquid; and guiding a gravity flow of each of the plurality of second flows (F2, F2', F2'') from the first elevation (A1) to a second elevation (A2, A2', A2'', A2''') of the vertical vegetated structure (1).
