Simulation study on the clogging process of suspended matter in recharge of anti-filtration recharge well

ABSTRACT Anti-filtration recharge wells are a class of recharge facilities in groundwater reservoirs with their own anti-filtration function, and aquifer clogging is a key issue in recharge. In this paper, the process of recharging groundwater by rainfall flood water recharge from an anti-filtration recharge well was simulated by indoor sand column test, and the change of permeability coefficient, turbidity at the outlet, and the distribution of suspended particulate matter at the end of the experiment were measured and computed, so as to analyze and study the effect of filtration in anti-filtration recharge wells and carry out the contrast test with ordinary recharge wells without a recharge pool. Compared with ordinary recharge wells, the anti-filter layer in the recharge pool of anti-filtration recharge wells can largely remove suspended matter in recharge water and intercept suspended matter at the surface, thus preventing aquifer clogging, and it is recommended that the anti-filter layer should be cleaned up and replaced regularly according to the experimental results, and this study provides a reference for the practical application of anti-filtration recharge wells.
