<p>A sea water pipe system is disclosed which comprises a sea pipe (1) connected to an intake pipe (2) at the onshore end and with inlet pipes (3) at the offshore end. A grille (13) is preferably secured over each inlet pipe (3) to prevent solid matter from flowing into the sea pipe (1). As the incoming tide rises, sea water is drawn into intake pipe (2) at tide level 4 and flows into pond (5). A second pond (7) is constructed adjacent pond (5) to allow water to overflow from pond (5) into pond (7). An outlet pipe (8) may extend from pond (7) to the sea with an outlet valve (22) being used to prevent water from an incoming tide being drawn through outlet pipe (8) into pond (7). The outlet valve (22) may be opened at low tide to allow waste water to drain from the ponds.</p> |
