An irrigation system (30) for watering a substrate (S), comprising a pipe (31) having a longitudinal dimension. A hermetically closeable inlet portion (32) is connected to a water supply. A passageway (34) extends generally throughout the longitudinal dimension and is in fluid communication with the inlet portion (32) such that water can fill the passageway (34). Openings (35) are in fluid communication with the passageway (34) such that water in the passageway (34) can exit the pipe (31) through the openings (35). The openings (35) are distributed along the longitudinal dimension of the pipe (31), the pipe (31) being adapted to be at least partially buried in the substrate (S) with said longitudinal dimension being generally horizontal. Porous members (36) are secured to an outer periphery of the pipe (31) so as to each cover one of the openings (35) and so as to be in contact with the substrate (S) such that water flows out of the passageway (34) through the openings (35) and the porous member (36) and into the substrate (S) as a result of a capillary action of the substrate (S).

Cette invention concerne un système d'irrigation (30) pour l'arrosage d'un substrat (S), comprenant un tuyau (31) de forme allongée. Une zone d'entrée pouvant être fermée hermétiquement (32) est branchée sur une alimentation en eau. Un passage (34) dans le sens longitudinal est en communication fluidique avec la zone d'entrée (32) de telle sorte que l'eau peut remplir ce passage (34). Des ouvertures (35) sont en communication fluidique avec le passage (34) de telle sorte que l'eau présente dans le passage (34) peut quitter le tuyau (31) par lesdites ouvertures (35). Ces ouvertures (35) sont réparties le long du tuyau (31), lequel est conçu pour être partiellement enfoui dans le substrat (S) dans le sens de la longueur, selon un plan généralement horizontal. Des éléments poreux (36) sont fixés à la prériphérie du tuyau (31). Chacun d'eux recouvre une des ouvertures (35) et est en contact avec le substrat (S). Ainsi, l'eau s'écoule hors du passage (34) par les ouvertures (35) et les éléments poreux (36), pour passer dans le substrat (S)grâce à l'effet de capillarité de ce dernier.
