Construction & Design Details
The apparatus is built around a corrosion-resistant stainless steel experiment tank filled with sand to represent soil and river bed conditions. Tank inclination is smoothly adjustable to simulate varying slopes. A precipitation device mounted above the tank generates controlled rainfall events. Groundwater levels are measured via multiple tube manometers connected to the base of the tank. A transparent measuring tank at the drain includes a measuring weir and force sensor for sediment mass determination.
