The team is working on estimating the key sources of head loss through the filter and comparing them with the head loss predicted using the design code. Based on the results of the analysis, the team will also work on modifying the design. The team will also be working on design upgrades to the LFSRSF to optimize performance and improve ease of operation on field. This will be achieved by testing the sand drain and designing better control systems to allow more flexibility to the operator and improving the reliability of the design. The team wishes to include feedback received from the field in terms of operation so as to make necessary design changes. Another major task will be to test the performance of the filter and collect data for analysis.
