Abstract
In order to design an efficient ground water recharge area, the movement of recharged water beneath the surface of a pit must be understood. With the aid of a model to study the water movement, certain flow characteristics were detected, figured and described. The series of experiments began with an isotropic medium and progressed through more complex tests to the final one, which consisted of several stratified layers of different sized granular material. The granular material consisted of sorted sand and gravel.
