S11 Ground Water Flow Unit
This bench-mounting apparatus is capable of demonstrating, on a small scale, the hydrological principles of ground water flow and the applications of these to certain engineering constructions. The demonstrations are of interest to geolog ists and geographers concerned with sub-surface water flows.
The equipment is valuable in any practical coursework related to water resource engineering. Demonstrations of flood risks associated with land drainage works, the use of wells for both water abstraction, de-watering and the drainage of lakes and polders are all readily performed.
The Armfield Ground Water Flow Unit allows simple three dimensional flow situations to be set up quickly and measurements of piezometric levels taken at appropriate positions within the model.
