METHOD OF SEDIMENTS CONTROL ON WATER INTAKE UNITS Russian patent published in 1997 - IPC

FIELD: methods of sediments control on water intake units located on the rivers of mountainous and piedmont zones. SUBSTANCE: method of sediments control on water intake units includes letting the washing flow saturated with sediments pass over the transporting channel 4 located on the high elevations of river flood-plain 1 and subsequent accumulation of sediments, passing the sediments sizing from 100.0 to 0.1 mm and their subsequent accumulation in vessels 6. Vessels 6 are periodically emptied from sediments and withdrawn beyond the limits of water intake unit 3 and river flood plain 1 by means of a transportation facility used in construction jobs. EFFECT: higher efficiency. 3 dwg
