Abstract: An artificial water cycle system is comprised of one or more water table cells or beds, having a generally horizontally disposed base and one or more generally vertically disposed sidewalls each having an end portion and made from a water impervious material, that are submerged below the surface of the soil. The end portion, that form the outer periphery terminate just below the surface while internal end portions terminate several inches below the surface and overlap adjoining internal end portions. The system allows introduced water to percolate down to the base to form an artificial water table and, through capilarity action, to be pulled upward along with nutrients, to supply the plants within the system. Excess water is discharged from the system through capilarity action.
