Abstract
The use of gravel covered plastic for the collection of precipitation was studied. Design specifications were developed so as to maximize efficiency with regard to gravel sizes versus degree and length of slope of the catchment. Different installation techniques are proposed including the use of a Gravel Extracting Soil Sifter (GESS) which was developed and successfully tested. This equipment will extract gravel from the soil, lay plastic and cover the plastic with gravel in one operation thus reducing installation and replacement costs. Water yield was investigated on different soil types in a coordinated laboratory and field investigation. (Author)
