A study of water infiltration basin and clogging using column experiments

The clogging of infiltration basins is the main problem affecting the proper functioning of groundwater artificial recharge systems. In this study, several parameters have been varied to understand their impacts on water infiltration. The experimental results show that the effect of initial humidity...

description The clogging of infiltration basins is the main problem affecting the proper functioning of groundwater artificial recharge systems.
