ABSTRACT:
Described is a water distribution system (1) with a continuous main line (10). Drinking cups (20) are placed on drinking segments (11) of the main line (10). Between the drinking segments (11) the main line (10) has intermediate segments (13), which are situated at a higher level than the drinking segments (11). The drinking cups are situated at a level suitable for drinking, and the intermediate segments are situated at a level suitable for allowing the birds to pass through unhindered underneath them. The complete line system can be cleaned by means of flushing, and has no dead-end branches. Top edges (22) of the drinking cups (20) are advantageously fixed to vertically directed line segments (13).The water distribution system (1) is modular. The drinking cups (20) are mounted in an exchangeable manner and can be replaced individually by another specimen, if desired with different features, without it being necessary to remove the valves and shut off the water line, and thus put the system out of operation.
