'stream sand'

The all-welded wedge wire screens are made from two elements the V-shaped wedge wire is helically wound around an array of internal longitudinal support rods. Each intersection of wire and rods is automatically resistance welded, creating a very strong cage-like cylinder with one continuous slot spiraling along its full length. The gap between the wires, also called slot or aperture, is manufactured to customer specification, allows water to flow from the surrounding aquifer into the screen, The slots can be very narrow to keep out fine sand grains, which could otherwise damage your pump through abrasion. NON PLUGGING SLOTS V-shaped wire creating, two point particle contact preventing plugging. Inwardly opening slots (in-flow) preventing sand particles from remaining lodged in screen. The V-shaped wire enhances well efficiency, ensures consistent pumping and long well life. LARGE OPEN AREA The continuous slot wedge wire offers higher open area than any other type of screens used for water well applications, such as slotted pipe, punched pipe, louver screens. Wedge wires for each application are selected to maximize open area, resulting in the lowest possible cost for water extraction. TECHNICAL DETAILS Available sizes from 1“ (25 mm) to 22“ (560 mm) Water well screens designed to suit well depth Available in slots sizes from 0.15 mm to 3 mm Length up to 6 metres available Materials: LCG (Low Carbon Galvanised) / SS304 / S316L / SS316 / SS316L - or as required to meet Customer requirements. End fittings - to suit Customer requirements

Percolation Pit is also like Rainwater Harvesting System A percolation pit, in its most low-tech form, is a simple hole dug into the ground. It facilitates groundwater recharge through infiltration of surface runoff into the soil or rock. Differences to contour trenches: Better water storage capability due to greater depth. Percolation tank is an artificially created surface water body, submerging in its reservoir a highly permeable land so that surface runoff is made to percolate and recharge the ground water storage. The percolation tanks are mostly earthen dams with masonry structure only for spillway. Percolation tank is an artificially created surface water body, submerging in its reservoir a highly permeable land so that surface runoff is made to percolate and recharge the ground water storage. Percolation tank should be constructed preferable on second to third order streams, located on highly fractured and weathered rocks which have lateral continuity down stream. The recharged area down stream should have sufficient number of wells and cultivable land to benefit from the augmented ground water. The size of percolation tank should be governed by percolation capacity of strata in the tank bed. Normally percolation tanks are designed for storage capacity of 0.1 to 0.5 MCM. It is necessary to design the tank to provide a ponded water column generally between 3 & 4.5 m. The percolation tanks are mostly earthen dams with masonry structure only for spillway. The purpose of the percolation tank is to recharge the ground water storage and hence seepage below the seat of the bed is permissible. for dams upto 4.5 m. height, cut off trenches are not necessary and keying and benching between the dam seat and the natural ground is sufficient.
