ABSTRACT:
A wave-and-tide-pump apparatus and method to provide a continuous flow of water from a large body of water to a small body of water, whereby the wave-and-tidal action of the first larger body of water is funneled into the second smaller body of water by means of a pump which is connected therebetween, the pump apparatus comprising an inlet mouth having a freely pivoted, flap-gate member that opens in the direction of the wave flow or incoming tide, thus allowing water to flow into a receiving reservoir and then pass through a conduit or tunnel which is connected to the second body of water, the water entering at a point opposite the natural inlet/outlet of the second body of water, thereby providing a continuous flow of water through the second body of water and establishing a flushing action.
