Water Supply
Infiltration galleries may be used to collect water from the aquifer underlying a river. Water from an infiltration gallery has the advantage of bank filtration to reduce the water treatment requirements for a surface withdrawal. An infiltration gallery may also be the best way to withdraw water from a thin aquifer or lens of fresh water overlying saline water.

Where the rain water of my eyes run out,
In pity of that name, whose fate wee see

The Muses are not Mer-maids, though upon
His death the Ocean might turn Helicon”
