Abstract
A fluid extraction device to remove fluid contaminants from the vadose zone of unsaturated subsurface area by selectively evacuating liquid and gas therefrom comprising a lower well screen assembly coupled to a vacuum source through an upper fluid conduit structure including a fluid flow control to separately extract liquid and vapor from the vadose zone and a fluid flow indicator to separately monitor the flow of liquid and vapor through the upper fluid conduit structure.
