using sump water for lawn irrigation
I am thinking of using the sump water to water my lawn. I live in a
heavy clay and wet area, so the sump goes off very frequently. Depending on the weather, it can be every few minutes while it's raining to couple times a day. It has been a dry summer here in Michigan. The sump pump now dumps into one spot in the backyard. It's usually enough water to keep one area so soggy that grass rots there and I cannot walk there. I am thinking of redirecting that water to the front yard maybe with some kind of in-ground container (like the sump well) and a second pump. The problem is how do I distribute the water evenly throughout the yard, or at least to a large enough area so it's useful and not just create a soggy spot? I'd like to not make it permanent and not too complicated if possible (ie, money and energy). Thanks. Andy |
