DRAINING OF WATER FROM SOIL?

ANS:- There are two types of well point system, namely single stage well point
system and multi-stage well point system. These systems are briefly described in
the followings.
Single Stage Well Point system :-
1. A well point consists of a pipe about 1 m long and 50 mm in diameter. It has
perforations, which are covered with a screen to prevent clogging.
2. At the lower end, a jetting nozzle is provided. This nozzle also acts as a
drive point. A ball valve provided near the lower end allows the water to flow only
in downward direction during installation of the well point.
3. A riser pipe having the same diameter as the well point connects the well
point at its bottom end.
4. The riser pipes are connected to a horizontal pipe, known as header pipe, at
the ground level.
The header pipe is connected
