Popis: In cases when the surface ground erosion and local landslides in the flysch sediments are induced by water, the fast drainage of excessive surface water by drainage channels can improve slope stabilities and mitigate erosion processes. Capillary action is described as the spontaneous flow of a liquid into a narrow tube or porous material without gravity force occurrence. The aim and of the research is to examine the idea of the capillary action theory in order to improve water channel drainage capacity from the inland ground toward the channel. Common channel drainage materials are providing the flow of the water in both directions from the inland ground toward the channel and in the opposite direction, and that can slow down the evacuation of excessive water. Also, they are not suitable for implementation on the ground that consists of the small particles such as silt or flysch are, because the washout of the ground material or drainage holes occlusion can occur. The experiment is conducted on the physical model prepared in the precipitation chamber HM 145 Advanced Hydrological Investigation (GUNT, Hamburg).
