This article discusses radial collector wells, horizontal perforated conduits that intercept and collect groundwater derived principally from surface water infiltration. Such supplies are usually found in the sand and gravel deposits underlying, and hydraulically connected with, surface sources such as rivers, lakes, or oceans. The article covers design details of radial collector wells, along with construction methods, water supply yield, limitations, comparison with surface water treatment, and typical installations.
