While tracing the effects of abrasion on submersible pumps installed in the shelters in drilling and suffered the consequences are for irrigation in arid areas. The second line stain work to answer the following position: "Should we fight against the causes and not against the consequences?" The result of the proposals will help manufacturers to pump Algerian, one with the best hydraulic performance for the chosen material. Certainly, there have been abrasion tests on samples, but determining the duration of wear and the wear rate of the types of materials is always a line of news. Increasing the life of the pump while remaining within the proper range of operation.

It is classified like climate and the relatively easy exploitation of this national heritage in 1971 and inheritance of humanity by underground resource. UNESCO since 1982.

Abrasive Wear Abrasive wear is defined as being wear by displacement of matter transported by hard particles or hard protuberances. Thus abrasive wear is the result of the sliding friction by tilling or plastic deformation. Wear can be done with two bodies, directly starting from the solids in contact or with three bodies. [5] [10] Figure 1. Localization of the wilaya. 2.1. Systems of Collecting of Subterranean Water The subterranean water is preferred because it allows the space extension of the farms and because the works of Figure 2.

They depend on According to the monograph of the wilaya, the hydraulic the mechanical properties and the geometry of materials in systems are the following: contact. If the surface of the solid solicited is regarded as V Systems of collecting of subterranean water by the perfectly planes, the following damages can be observed: drilling of well exceeding 50m depths, and the cross, if the abrasive is sufficiently sharpened; realization of galleries of collecting of source and V embossing of the matter on the surface; storage: kind of system of Foggara.

Factors Influencing Wear The first drillings albian carried out in 1948 and 1950. The depression during which a given pump starts to use The gushing impressing of subterranean water revealed the depends on several factors: quantity of sand; the quality of importance of the tablecloth contained in the sandstones of sand; the total head total of the pump; the type of wheel; the Continental guide. [04] [14] vibration (frequency and amplitude); penetration depth; From this period, the number of drilling did not cease carrying fluid (natural, circulation terms); tool (natural of increasing.

This removed quantity depends on many parameters and 4.1.2. Oncern more particularly by hardness and the form on the particles To supplement the information received from the abrasives. farmers, it was necessary to consult the company’s suppliers of the equipment and the services.

Tests of Pumping slip, abrasion will be similar to a process of cut and the left trace will be indicated like a stripe of micro cut. [3] The tests of pumping constitute a preliminary stage before the exploitation of a given work, they are necessary 4. Methods and Diagnoses to avoid the interferences between nearby works and to plan the flows and the schedules of operation of pumping In order to achieve our goals, the followed step consists for a whole long-term area in order to prevent the causes of of prospections of several forms: wears for the pump. [2] • Documentary prospections: it is carried out near the They consist in pumping during a certain time until the various services of DHW, AOW, NOC, NAHR and stability of the water level to the permanent mode in the NOID. These prospections aim to characterize the zone objective to optimize the exploitation of the work (flow, of studies and to determine the problems well.
