• Load Haushi: Yana buƙatar ƙasa mai ƙima don rarraba nauyi da hana yin lodi.

Don zurfafa zurfafa (>100m), we cannot simply use "open" gravel. Under 2MPa of vertical pressure, point loads from large stones can puncture the liner.

The Factor Creep:
Synthetic materials (geonets and drainage pipes) suffer from compressive creep. A geonet might have high transmissivity in a 100-hour lab test, but under 10 years of constant load, it may lose 50-70% of its thickness and flow capacity. Designs must use "reduction factors" don lissafin wannan gaskiyar shekaru 20.

2. Rufe Sinadarai: Hazo na gishiri (kamar gypsum ko calcite) yayin da ilmin sunadarai na PLS ya canza saboda ƙaura ko motsi pH.

A prudent design includes a filtration strategy. This usually involves placing a non-woven geotextile filter or a distinct graded sand layer between the ore and the coarse drainage gravel. However, the filter itself must be designed not to clog. We often recommend specific "opening size" ($O_{95}$) ma'auni na geotextiles dangane da binciken barbashi na ma'adinai.
