ABSTRACT:
An irrigation system comprises a pump facility 11 for pumping up seawater from the sea, an artificial seawater lake 31 formed in an inland area, a freshwater producing plant 41 for producing freshwater from seawater, an artificial freshwater lake 51, and an irrigation canal 61 for supplying the freshwater to a projected irrigation area. A solar-cell power generation plant 21-25 is constructed for supplying electric power to operate the irrigation system. The irrigation including the artificial seawater lake is formed in an inland area in a comparatively short time, and freshwater is produced from the seawater stored in the artificial seawater lake. Therefore freshwater can be supplied to a projected irrigation area at an early stage of the construction of the irrigation system.
