Studying the effect of design parameters on riverbank filtration performance for drinking water supply in Egypt: a case study
Riverbank filtration (RBF) is an affordable technique to provide drinking water with adequate quality. The ultimate objective of this study is to facilitate the transferability and application of this sustainable technique in Egypt. In this work, a numerical model was constructed using Groundwater Modeling System (GMS) to study the effect of four design parameters on the RBF performance parameters (i.e., river filtrate portion and travel time) with the aid of MODPATH and ZONEBUDGET. The design parameters were: (1) the pumping rates of the RBF wells, (2) number of operating wells, (3) distance between wells and the river, and (4) the spacing between wells. This study was focused on the hydraulic aspects of the technique. The results demonstrated that: (1) the river filtrate portion exceeds 75% regardless of the design conditions, and (2) the hydraulic performance of the RBF technique is highly controlled by the production capacity of the wells and their positions relative to the surface water systems; the spacing between wells has a minimum effect. Two equations were developed to estimate the river filtrate portion and minimum travel time as functions of pumping rate and distance between the pumping well and the river. HIGHLIGHTS Hydraulic aspects of riverbank filtration.; Impact of design parameters on river filtrate portion and travel time.; The relation between over-pumping and river filtrate portion.; Multi-regression analysis for RBF performance.;
