PERCOLATION / ABSORPTION WELL

These wells are constructed using cement rings readily available in the market. The diameter of these rings range from 2 ft to 6 ft. The depth to which these wells are dug depends on the nature of the soil and the diameter depends on the number of roof top pipes that are likely to be connected to each one of these wells. These wells are left unfilled and are covered with RCC slabs of suitable thickness to facilitate free pedestrian and vehicular movement on the ground.

Rainwater from the terrace is diverted to the existing open well using PVC pipes through a filter chamber.

The minimum size of the filter chamber is 2" x 2" x 2" filled with broken bricks in the bottom and sand on the top. The chamber may be covered with RCC slab.
