A rural landscape-type nitrogen and phosphorus ecological interception ditch system and a farmland drainage nitrogen and phosphorus interception method using the system are provided. The system includes a sediment buffer zone, an ecological ditch unit, an interception-conversion pool and a field ridge hedge fence; the sediment buffer zone, the ecological ditch unit, and the interception-conversion pool are sequentially arranged in a continuous ditch along a direction of a water flow; and the field ridge hedge fence is arranged on field ridges on one side or both sides of the ditch. The present disclosure can, on the basis of not affecting normal production functions of a farmland, further exert an ecological role of the farmland, and use the farmland as an assimilation sink for environmental nitrogen and phosphorus, so as to optimize drainage water quality and improve a farmland ecological environment.

A growing unit for biological hydrosynthesis, energy generation and storage and/or topsoil restoration, the growing unit comprising: a container configured for growing plants and containing a growth media located therein; a reservoir located in a lower portion of the container and associated with an outlet portion of the container, and a substantially vertical liquid inlet pipe associated with the reservoir, wherein the growth media comprises a mixture including a first catalyst, wherein the first catalyst stimulates formation of a humified soil and wherein the growth media is amended with an irrigation liquid which stimulates biological activity in the growth media and in and adjacent to the reservoir.

The present disclosure provides a method of systematic protection and utilization of hill resources, and relates to the field of protection and utilization of hill resources. The method of systematic protection and utilization method of the hill resources comprises a hill resource protection method and a hill resource utilization method. The hill resource protection method comprises a prevention and control method for geological disasters such as landslide, debris flow, water and soil loss, fire disasters and/or desertification caused by earthquakes, rainstorms and/or drought and the like, and a prevention and control method for continuous weathering of mountain rocks; and the hill resource utilization method is a method for utilizing available resources generated based on the protection. According to the method of systematic protection and utilization for hill resources, a foundation for utilizing the hill resources is built by protecting the hill resources, with protection and utilization integrated. Compared with existing methods, the method provided by the present disclosure not only can prevent and control natural disasters, protect the hill resources and prevent water and soil loss, but also can efficiently utilize water and soil resources, increase the output value, relieve the cultivated land pressure and promote industrial layout adjustment.

A gravity irrigation system includes a distribution piping having apertures to distribute water to a field, and a valve located upstream of the distribution piping. The valve limits a pressure of the water being delivered to the distribution piping. The system also includes a sump to receive the water at a lowest elevation of the field, a depth sensor disposed within the sump, and a return pump disposed at least partially within the sump to move the water to an elevated portion of the field. The system also includes a motor to drive the return pump, and a power source coupled to a variable frequency drive that powers the motor and controls a motor speed proportionately to an indication of the depth sensor. The system also includes a transfer piping to bring the water from the return pump to a check valve and to the distribution piping.

A method for managing the flow of water beneath a ground surface uses modules. Assemblies of such modules are disclosed. The modules include supports and a deck portion, and the supports are spaced apart and form multiple channels with a main section of the deck portion. The deck portion also includes at least one section extending from a main section.
