Re: water removal

[John Marlin <jmarlin@wmrc.uiuc.edu>]

Various sizes of geotextile tubes are used for dewatering purposes.  At the 
web site  www.geotecassociates.com   there are numerous photos, examples 
and discussion resources.
One of the photos under tests shows a suspended bag about six feet long 
with a drip pan underneath.   (that part of the site did not display a few 
minutes ago).
