1. A system, comprising:

  • a water supply;

    at least one pipe in communication with said water supply, wherein said at least one pipe comprises a tubarc porous microstructure for conducting said water from a saturated zone to an unsaturated zone, wherein said water supply comprises a saturated zone; and

    wherein said water is delivered from said saturated zone to said unsaturated zone through said tubarc porous microstructure, thereby permitting said water to be harnessed for irrigation through the hydrodynamic movement of said water from one zone of saturation or unsaturation to another.
