Abstract

This article discusses multiple correlations and regression analysis of data collected during this research that have provided an equation relating the variables studied, of value to those engaged in or contemplating artificial recharge. This equation can be used to indicate the filtration efficiency of coarse media with relation to the parameters of filter layer depth, coarse media diameter, and rate of recharge or to indicate the concentration of suspended solids transmitted through coarse media during artificial recharge, based on influent suspended solids concentration, rate of recharge, filter layer depth, and coarse media diameter. This equation will be used to assess the results of several years of field operation of artificial recharge at Peoria, to plan possible schemes of rejuvenation of those pits when necessary, and to plan for future recharge pit operations. This will maximize the amount of artificial recharge accomplished and minimize the amount of aquifer clogging by suspended solids.
