Water-transporting installation for cleaning lagoons

摘要

The invention relates to a water-transporting installation. It relates to an installation which comprises a tank 26 placed on a coral barrier 12 and the upper edge of which is above the mean level of the ocean but is below the level of the crests of the waves. The tank therefore fills up and the water which it takes up is transmitted through a long pipe 28 onto the other shore of the lagoon 14. Clean water is therefore constantly supplied near the shore and carries the polluting substances away towards the channel 20 of the lagoon. Application to the cleaning of lagoons on islands. <IMAGE>
