Indeed. Apparently I had misunderstood the intended purpose, yet the concept of my objection remains valid, as you show. BTW it might be simpler to just install a pipe with it's mouth farther up hill than the wall (but buried well below the surface), and the lower end in the ocean. It would provide a low resistance drain for the ground water, and obviate the need for pumping. > > >Dave Regards, Robin van Spaandonk http://rvanspaa.freehostia.com/project.html
