About This Product
Seepage under dams and around sheet piles is hard to picture, and this tank makes it visible. Students set different water levels at each end, trace flow lines with dye, sketch the flow net against the front scales and use the piezometer readings to check Darcy’s law and estimate seepage.
Frequently Asked Questions
What model structures can be built in the tank?
