    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dewatering

    Pumps being used to dewater a spillway at Baldhill Dam. Dewatering / d iː ˈ w ɔː t ər ɪ ŋ / is the removal of water from a location. This may be done by wet classification, centrifugation, filtration, or similar solid-liquid separation processes, such as removal of residual liquid from a filter cake by a filter press as part of various industrial processes.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mine_dewatering

    Where no dewatering techniques were effective the mine had to be shut down due to flooding. [3] In the 15th century mine dewatering techniques made some technical advancements as the first mechanized wooden pumps were used in the German Rammelsberg mine (Lower Saxony), and later in the Ehrenfriedersdorf (Saxony) mines in the 16th century.

  5. Dish structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dish_structure

    Only since Lowe and LoPiccolos's study, the structure is recognized as penecontemporaneous or secondary, formed during the dewatering of rapidly deposited quick or underconsolidated beds. [ 6 ] The postdepositional character of dish structure can sometimes clearly be seen in cut or displaced primary sedimentary structures (like convolute ...

  6. Site analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Site_analysis

    Synthesis phase: From the analysis, a program is developed, which is part of the synthesis phase. The third step deals with schematic design of a site plan as well as a preliminary cost estimate for the site. Step four involves more developed designs and a detailed cost estimate. Step five is the construction documents or the plan.

  7. Sequalitchew Creek - Wikipedia

    Groundwater aquifer dewatering to lower the water table for access to additional aggregate would be allowed. This initially would be accomplished through interceptor wells. In the long term, construction of a portion of the proposed new North Sequalitchew Creek channel would permanently intercept groundwater and discharge to the existing ...
