Abstract
The use of trenches for the recovery of shallow
groundwater is often more feasible then individual extraction
wells. Trenches have the advantages of having a large surface
infiltration area which minimizes plugging of the filter pack, a
contiguous capture area which allows for a greater percentage of
capture and lower operation cost since fewer pumps are required
to span long linear areas.
