The mineral clogging mechanism. Due to the drag force of the water at the interface between the soil and a drain pipe, soil particles may be carried into the pipe via its slots. This process can never be prevented completely, but can be counter-acted by installing an envelope material, often a geotextile, around the drain. Generally, two types of mineral clogging can be detected which are referred to as primary and secondary mineral clogging. Primary clogging is a consequence of the sudden drastic changes in the soil/water boundary conditions, caused by the installation of the subsurface drainage system, and the resulting water flow, including particle transport due to the high hydraulic gradients, towards the newly installed pipes. Secondary clogging is defined as particle transport into filters and/or pipes, in the long term;... 1, record 4, English, - primary%20mineral%20clogging

Subsurface runoff includes tile drainage and natural subsurface runoff; tile drainage is percolating water intercepted by artificial drainage systems, such as tile or mole drain, which accelerate its movement into streams. In general, P [phosphorus] concentrations and losses in natural subsurface runoff are lower than in tile drainage due to the longer contact time between subsoil and natural subsurface runoff, which enhances DP removal. 2, record 10, English, - subsurface%20runoff

Modern drainage systems may be divided into two categories, surface and subsurface. The typical surface system consists of field drains, field ditches, a main collection ditch, and an outlet. As the term implies, a surface system is designed to remove water that collects on top of the soil. 5, record 12, English, - drain%20tile

It has been suggested ... that since the thinnest layer of sand to act successfully as an erosion pumping filter was 25 mm, and the slurry penetrated /3mm in this case, then a geotextile with a thickness of 10 mm or more might successfully replace the sand blanket layer. The fact that the most successful sand blanket have voids ranging from 5 to 30 [micrometers] seems to suggest that the geotextile’s voids should be of a similar magnitude. Erosion pumping filters, using a geotextile in conjunction with a sand blanket, are much more effective than geotextiles alone. 1, record 13, English, - sand%20blanket

Mineral clogging starts to develop at the interface between the geotextile(or pipe wall) and the adjacent soil. It is therefore defined as a contact process. Two clogging processes can be distinguished : contact erosion... which occurs when particles of nearly all sizes are washed out locally and contact suffosion... when only the fine particles are washed out leaving a skeleton, consisting of coarser particles, behind.

Generally, two types of mineral clogging can be detected which are referred to as primary and secondary clogging. Primary clogging is a consequence of the sudden drastic changes in the soil/water boundary conditions, caused by the installation of the subsurface drainage system, and the resulting water flow, including particle transport due to the high hydraulic gradients, towards the newly installed pipe. Secondary clogging is defined as a particle transport into filters and/or pipes, in the long term;... 1, record 16, English, - mineral%20clogging

Colmatage minéral. Il existe deux risques majeurs de colmatage : le "clogging", qui est provoqué par la pénétration des particules à l'intérieur du géotextile (...) et donc réduit la perméabilité de ce dernier. (...) le "blocking", qui est l'obturation des canaux au point de passage du fluide dans le géotextile. (...) la stricte application des critères de filtration définis par les divers organismes nationaux prend en compte les effets à long terme du colmatage minéral et donc limite les risques de non-fonctionnement des réseaux de drainage. 1, record 16, French, - colmatage%20min%C3%A9ral

L'eau qui circule est chargée de particules solides en suspension, celles-ci s'accumulent sur le filtre ou au sein du filtre en réduisant progressivement la perméabilité. Le débit diminue, il y a colmatage. (...) Les risques de colmatage du filtre et du drain dépendent de la quantité de ces particules fines quittant le sol et qui est elle-même déterminée par le choix du filtre. Pour éviter le colmatage du filtre, on pourrait choisir un géotextile dont la texture serait plus serrée que le diamètre des particules fines, mais elle serait quasi imperméable et arrêterait même l'eau. 2, record 16, French, - colmatage%20min%C3%A9ral
