Based on the Soil Food Web, Miyawaki Method site preparation, and Mycology - a method of feeding water uphill with bioirrigation, instead of mechanical irrigation.

Trench is dug from a body of water to any location, including uphill, which needs to be irrigated. Trench is filled with woody biomass to produce fungal-inducive environment. Fungi form mycelial network - and pump water from pond to remote location. This serves the additional purpose of fertility via soil food webs, and results in explosive growth of biological life.
