Assessment of changes in the main filtration parameters of peat in the process of its drainage

Abstract

The research subject reflects one of the special conditions for the construction of reclamation systems on peatlands - this is a significant change in many of their parameters, including filtration indicators of the peat deposit - due to precipitation and compaction of peat in the process during its drainage. This research work is of a scientific and methodological nature and represents the development of a new calculation method. The ultimate aim of the research is to develop a calculation method that improves the accuracy and reliability of the existing methods for assessing the changing water-physical properties of peat due to its drainage - due to the greatest coverage and consideration of specific conditions and design factors. The introductory part describes both the current state of the issue and the relevance of the existing problem. The main part of the content contains the structure, mathematical basis and calculation formulas of the proposed method of calculation - for predicting the reduction of filtration coefficients and water loss of drained peat. A specific example of the calculation of the results of the practical use of the developed methodology is considered and given. The final part provides an analysis of the research results, the main conclusions and recommendations for the practical use of this technique.
