位于河床的人工井必须配有井口装置（如苏丹使用的水动力井口装置），以防止洪水来袭时井身充满沙子。形状为楔形，可分散洪水的冲击力。© E. Nissen-Petersen, 肯尼亚.

这些浅井从河床中天然或人工含水层中抽取水。最简单的就是每到旱季在河床中挖一个浅层洞，每次发洪水时河床就会被淹。使用其他方式时，可通过手泵 或小型高效电动泵在全年都能获取水资源。可使用水桶和绳子，但是会增加污染的风险。因此，应该提倡使用家用水处理。

适宜条件

• 水井应该建在一年中有一段时间干旱的河床上，这样才能进行施工。
• 即使在旱季，河床中也应该有水。
• 如果挖取水井目的是使用手动或电动方式抽取水，根据水泵要求最好将水井建在:

1. 水泵30米范围内。
2. 在河堤较矮及洪水最高高度也不及河堤的地方。因此仍可以使用真空泵，并能有效抽取6-7米高的水。

应对环境变化的适应性

干旱

干旱的后果: 可能干涸

潜在的原因: 由于降雨减少，含水层的补给也变少；人口增加，用水需求也增加；含水层的面积——例如沙量有限；水井在地下水位中不够深；位置不当；管道周围的级配砾石分布不当。

增加 WASH 系统的适应性: 通过修建地下水坝增加水量；将水井和管道放置在更深的地方；在水位范围内沉箱时使用排水井；在旱季后半段修建；在一年中部分时间干旱的河床中修建，并且河床在旱季时也有水；通过将透水混凝土和多孔尖头钢管水平插入含水层（河床水井）和级配砾石（渗水渠和射流井）中增加流量；在没有沉积（渗水渠）的退化河中修建；在管道周围铺设级配砾石，减少淤积并增加流量。

Construction, operations and maintenance

New riverbed well. The new well's hydro dynamic design means it won't be washed away or destroyed by fast flowing rivers during the rainy season. These wells provide cleaner, fresher water, and are safer than climbing into unprotected holes. They are time saving too as traditional wells have to be re-dug each dry season. Photo: Jane Beesley.

General advice on cement: A common cause of cracks in structures and linings (e.g. in tanks, dams, waterways, wells) is errors in mixing and applying the cement. First of all, it is important that only pure ingredients are used: clean water, clean sand, clean rocks. The materials have to be mixed very thoroughly. Secondly, the amount of water during mixing needs to minimal: the concrete or cement needs to be just workable, on the dry side even, and not fluid. Thirdly, it is essential that during curing the cement or concrete is kept moist at all times, for at least a week. Structures should be covered with plastic, large leaves or other materials during the curing period, and kept wet regularly.

Specific advice: Simplify construction methods while getting a more robust end product in a safer fashion. Pre-cast concrete rings can be used, but is more easily done with a cutting foundation ring and curved concrete blocks, some of which are made from porous concrete.

Ensure that wells are dug deep enough to allow enough flow during the dry season.

For sand rivers that have a significant clay content, permeability will be low, and yields will also be low. Increased flow velocity into the well can be created by making a large gravel pack around the well shaft – this gravel pack consists of aggregate and stones (rather than the traditional type of small diameter gravel pack used in boreholes).

For where the well is made within or partially within a riverbed where it will be flooded or have floodwater beside or close to it:

• The well shaft can be made so that it is buried within the sand, and is uncovered after each flood event for access to the water. A slab is made to cover the top ring and a manhole access cover is created for dry season access but which can be closed during a flood event. In such a case:
  • The top of the ring should be ideally 1.5 metres minimum from the riverbed surface. This is so that:

1. There is at least a minimum of infiltration that occurs from surface water during the wet season when the river is flooded
2. That there is less chance that the well shaft and pipework will be washed away in a flood event. Sand becomes mobile to a certain depth which differs for different rivers but has been recorded to be normally between 0.66 and 2 metres in seasonal riverbeds.

• The well shaft can also be made so that it protrudes from the riverbed sand level. A slab is made to cover the top ring and a manhole access cover is installed for dry season access. In such a case:
  • The well shaft needs to be protected – a hydrodynamic well head should be constructed to minimize damage from floodwater and the debris it contains. This well head has a shape of an upturned boat which deflects water and debris in the floodwater. The manhole cover opens in the upstream direction so that it closes when the floods arrive.
  • Such a construction is probably best suited to riverbeds of low porosity and permeability where sediments have some stability and little is transported in floodwater, otherwise damage to the well could easily take place.

The use of porous concrete in part of the section of the well shaft which is underwater can help increase flow velocity into the well. Porous concrete is made using a of 1 : 1 : 4 (cement : sand : aggregate) and can be used for curved blocks or also for a central portion of any pre-cast concrete ring. Also perforated pointed steel pipes can be driven horizontally into the aquifer using a jack – this can also increase flow velocity into the well.
