Stepped Crop Field Irrigation System.
Nowadays all around the world water is a scarce resource.
For centuries managing the water
table of the stepped crop field more particular rice field,
always are a hard labor challenge.
Here is a typical environment.
Even With the water source at higher ground a watchful eye
should be on guard at all time. The way the farmer do is draw water
downward by channels; open when need and close when done.
However; as always; there are the case the lower field are overflown while the upper are dyed up.
When employ the S-Siphoning device farmer now can manage
their entire field as if it is on the same level. Please

for
more information The following is an
illustrate how the system should work.
Note:
- They can build one "size fit all". The air column (pipe) does not need to be vertically strait; It can be slant only its height (not length) is count. This way they can always adjust the step by how oblique it is.
- To prevent the force of the flow pushing the air out,
mouths of the S-Siphon should be partially blocked (shown at the image
above).
- To prevent air building up in the pipe then the up and
down necks of the device should be short; as short as possible enough
to prevent the air escaping out.
- If it's properly built with a large pipe (4"? - enough to put one's hand in to clean up) and with some primitive filter it can be a burred as a permanent part of the field . . . of course one may need to clean up the debris when needed, otherwise they are maintenance free. Nothing wear and tear, needs to be fixed.
- The system will only works when there is a natural water source up, on high.
- The system can be setup as "do one then forget".
- As a hint, at set up one can use a small hose to air
fill up.
