Irrigation aid

Abstract

A irrigation aid for a water harvesting device comprising: a housing; at least one inlet incorporated into one side of the housing; an outlet incorporated into the housing and adapted to attach to at least one irrigation line; and a transfer mechanism adapted to transfer water from the at least one inlet through the housing to the outlet. The transfer mechanism may include a plurality of fins to direct the water received from a rainwater tank through the inlet and transfer mechanism to the outlet and irrigation lines. The irrigation aid may further include a level measuring device and may further include either pressured water line water or solar cells to drive the transfer mechanism.

1 . An irrigation aid for a water harvesting device comprising:
 a housing;   at least one inlet incorporated into one side of the housing;   an outlet incorporated into the housing and adapted to attach to at least one irrigation line; and   a transfer mechanism adapted to transfer water from the at least one inlet through the housing to the outlet.   
     
     
         2 . The irrigation aid in  claim 1 , wherein the transfer mechanism comprises a plurality of fins. 
     
     
         3 . The irrigation aid in  claim 1 , wherein the transfer mechanism comprises an input rotating carriage and an output rotating carriage. 
     
     
         4 . The irrigation aid of  claim 3 , wherein the input rotating carriage and the output rotating carriage both comprise a plurality of fins. 
     
     
         5 . The irrigation aid in  claim 1 , wherein one of the at least one inlets is connected to a rainwater tank of the water harvesting device. 
     
     
         6 . The irrigation aid in  claim 1 , wherein one of the at least one inlets is connected to a pressured water line. 
     
     
         7 . The irrigation aid in  claim 1 , wherein the irrigation aid further comprises a level measuring device. 
     
     
         8 . A harvested rainwater irrigation aid comprising;
 a rain water inlet;   an outlet for connection with one or more irrigation lines;   a water transfer means between; and   a means to provide power assisted irrigation.   
     
     
         9 . A harvested rainwater irrigation aid as in  claim 8 , wherein said power assist means is a pressurized water line. 
     
     
         10 . A harvested rainwater irrigation aid as in  claim 8 , wherein said power assist means is a motor. 
     
     
         11 . A harvested rainwater irrigation aid as in  claim 10 , wherein said power assist means draws power from a solar powered system. 
     
     
         12 . A harvested rainwater irrigation aid as in  claim 8 , further comprising a user flow control means. 
     
     
         13 . A harvested rainwater irrigation aid as in  claim 8 , further comprising the user flow control means including a timer for release of water at times intervals. 
     
     
         14 . A harvested rainwater irrigation aid as in  claim 8 , further comprising the user flow control means including a selected amount of water to be released. 
     
     
         15 . A harvested rainwater irrigation aid as in  claim 8  further comprising:
 a plurality of solar cells;   a chargeable battery to store the energy from the solar cells; and   a motor to drive the water transfer means.   
     
     
         16 . A water irrigation aid comprising;
 a water inlet;   an outlet for connection with one or more irrigation lines; and   a means to provide power assisted irrigation.
