Publisher's Synopsis
The objective of this research was to investigate the clogging process in riverbank filtration (RBF) systems and identify factors significant to yield. Specific objectives included the following:
- Evaluate commonly available stream and aquifer characteristics from RBF systems with regards to system yield
- Collect data from the RBF system in Louisville and apply the information to clogging theory
- Provide recommendations regarding the design of future RBF systems with regards to riverbed clogging
- Data from the participating sites were compiled to allow easy comparison to future RBF sites.
