摘要 |
This application discloses apparatus for removing sand and other sedimentary materials from waterways and other submerged locations comprising a generally horizontal perforated pipe extending across the bottom of the waterway and connected to a suction pump above the water level with a high-volume clear water supply conduit entering the perforated conduit near the perforations closest to the pump. The clear water supply may be provided by a suction apparatus or a pressure apparatus, and where the perforations are provided in the bottom of the perforated pipe, the pipe may dig its own channel in the bottom of a waterway.
