What should be the structure of a saltwater distributor in a desalination pond?

The tank is 10m×10m in size and 4m deep. Currently, salt dissolves too quickly near the pipes inside the tank, while the area far from the pipes does not see sufficient salt dissolution; as a result, one-third of the tank is filled with accumulated salt. If the flow rate of fresh water is 260 m3/h, the water doesn’t have enough time to dissolve the salt before flowing into the baffle tank. What suggestions do you have to address this issue? # + + .
What we have designed are two parallel H-shaped structures, with the openings angled 45 degrees downward; theoretically, this should meet the requirements regarding the flow rate of salt water, as the flow velocity is reduced. There should be more openings. The contact time between the brackish water and the salt layer increases, and the openings are directed downward to prevent excessive accumulation of rock layers, which in turn helps to avoid blockage of those openings
Multiple U-shaped tubes can be arranged in an interlaced pattern, with water entering these tubes in an interlaced manner to ensure that the inlets are evenly distributed across the bottom of the tank.
Ours has a cap structure of *-type distribution.
Ensure that the inlets are evenly distributed across the bottom of the tank, with U-shaped pipes used for alternating water inflow.
May I ask about the diameter of the openings and the spacing between them? What are the flow rates for the main pipeline and the diameters of the branch pipes? Thank you
