Groundwater Abstraction through Siphon Wells—Hydraulic Design and Energy Savings

Siphon pipes were used for groundwater abstraction from wells before the development of submersible pumps. Many of the existing and operational systems were built before the 1950s and require rehabilitation. Siphon wells are difficult to design and, therefore, are often equipped with submersible pum...
