Loess Plateau region of northwest China. Soil piping is a particular form of soil erosion that occurs below the soil surface. It causes levee and dam failure

of filters or large rocks to prevent clogging. Annual maintenance through soil testing, visual inspection, and mechanical testing is also crucial to the

often what the civil engineer is trying to avoid, being concerned about piping or dam failure. Irregular points (also called singularities) in the flow

slope. This oversteepens the slope and can lead to collapse when the soil dries. Piping failure may occur when high groundwater seepage pressure increases

In hydrology, pipeflow is a type of subterranean water flow where water travels along cracks in the soil or old root systems found in above ground vegetation

Similar physical and chemical interactions may take place with any pumps, piping, or intermediate devices used to transfer the water sample into the sample

bank material. If concentrated, seepage erosion can be called piping because a “pipe” of soil is eroded. Vegetation can have a significant impact on bank
