Abstract
A ground water flow device 1 has a support element 3 and a filter sheet 5. The filter sheet 5 has a first side 7 and a second side 9. Tubes 13 are provided with flow apertures 11 which are large enough to allow the passage of water and soil particles. The tubes 13 each have an inner space 17. The tubes 13 each hold one of the filter sheets 5 in their inner space 17. A first part of the flow apertures 11 is facing the first side 7 of the filter sheets 5 and a second part of the flow apertures 11 is facing the second side 9 of the filter sheets 5, defining in each tube 13 a flow path 19 for ground water from the first part of the flow apertures 11 through the filter sheet 5 to the second part of the flow apertures 11.
Claims15
A ground water flow device comprising:
- a support element and a filter element, wherein the filter element has a first side and a second side facing away from the first side, the support element comprises flow apertures which are large enough to allow the passage of water and soil particles, and the filter element comprises pore openings large enough to allow the passage of water from the first side to the second side and small enough to block the passage of soil particles, wherein
- the support element is rigid and comprises at least one tube which has a longitudinal direction and an inner space extending in the longitudinal direction, wherein the at least one tube sealingly holds the filter element in the inner space, the filter element extending in the longitudinal direction, and the at least one tube is provided with the flow apertures, which are distributed such over a circumference of the tube that a first part of the flow apertures is facing the first side of the filter element and second part of the flow apertures is facing the second side of the filter element, defining a flow path for ground water from the first part of the flow apertures through the filter element to the second part of the flow apertures.
