Weep Wells

Weep Wells

Weep Wells

(OP)
Is there a good reference or article about the design and use of weep wells used for the reduction of groundwater pressure at depth?

RE: Weep Wells

explain what you mean by "weep well"

RE: Weep Wells

If "weep wells" you mean "wick drains", that might be the better term to google

RE: Weep Wells

(OP)
There are all names for a vertical drain that will allow water to weep / wick water through a filter fabric which surrounds a polypropylene core to the surface from a depth below.  I need to evaluate the spacing to install these drains and any recommendations or limitations of their use.
