Abstract

The article discusses the design and operation of a new model of lateral intake structure without a reservoir — a vortex-type filtering water intake system. The structure’s components, working process, and results of laboratory experiments are thoroughly described and illustrated graphically. This type of intake is designed for rivers in foothill and plain regions, where traditional lateral intakes often allow up to 90% of sand and gravel sediment to enter the canal along with river water. The proposed filtering intake structure consists of a permeable dam built from local materials and large stones, significantly reducing sediment inflow. The design maintains the natural river flow and additionally provides preliminary water purification and fish protection functions. The structure is located on a curved section of the Karasu River bank, which allows for effective use of water level differences and helical flow patterns to reduce clogging of the dam with suspended particles. The filtering dam is made as a reinforced concrete mesh filled with stones and includes a flushing reservoir and a gated regulator in the downstream section. The study highlights the ecological efficiency and practical value of the proposed water intake system as a sustainable water management solution.
