A water supply is particularly suitable for an infiltration gallery intake structure if it has specific hydrogeological and water quality characteristics. First, a shallow alluvial aquifer that is hydraulically connected to a surface water source such as a river or lake is essential. This means that there is a permeable zone (sand and gravel) near the surface that allows surface water to readily infiltrate into the ground. Second, the presence of a sufficient thickness and permeability of the aquifer material is crucial. ....
