Abstract
An arrangement for cleaning contaminated ground water and a ground region through which it flows comprises a shaft extending to a region of ground water to be cleaned, the shaft having a shaft wall with two water permeable wall regions located above and below a ground water level so that a separating region is formed in the shaft between the water permeable regions under the ground water level, a throughgoing passage extending through the separating region and ending above the ground water level in the shaft, a filter arranged in the shaft, a circulating pump arranged in the shaft so that the throughgoing passage forms a part of a flow path. The circulating pump provides a ground water circulation which passes through the shaft, through the water permeable wall regions, through the surrounding ground region and through the filter arranged in the shaft. The filter includes a pourable and fluid filter material which fills a shaft chamber located under the separating region. The throughgoing passage has a portion which is permeable for the ground water and not permeable for a filtering material and which extends into the filter material filling, and an additional passage extends throu…
