Intake Design for the Reduction of Turbidity
The purpose of this study was to obtain data for the design and placement of intake structures for maximum efficiency in reducing turbidity. The investigations were confined to intakes in rivers which merit special attention because of considerable fluctuation in the river stage, flow velocity, and turbidity. The primary component investigated was the intake itself, because its design affects the long‐term efficiency of the intake structure. The study was based on the “discrete‐particle” theory of turbidity, under which settling velocity can be considered a reliable indicator of the size of particle that can be removed. The experimental apparatus is described, along with the procedure, which investigated five combinations of the intake and position. Flow pattern observations are discussed, along with quantitative observations, the influence of mouthpiece size, and the importance of entrance velocity.
