Abstract
This paper contains a general study on the natural clogging of porous media by suspended sediment in water. This creates with time a decrease in the permeability coefficient and consequently a reduction of the seepage flow.Two theories are presented and compared for the prediction of the rate of clogging in nature. The two approaches have been verified by experimental data obtained from tests carried out at Laval University. Results have permitted the limits of application of each method to be denned.
