Searching, destruction and prevention of digging tunnels from Gaza into Israel

All of the above in the header is feasible in a single step. All measures for this purpose are given by the nature itself in the same package. It is sea water and geological conditions. I say so because I know this matter. Probably ten or even more experts in geology of Israel can declare the same. I can say so because I crossed the Coastal aquifer (the right name Pleistocene aquifer) lengthwise and crosswise from Ashkelon to Atlit and shattered into a powder all these sediments/rocks by my hands. It is composed of silty sand to coarse fractions, calcareous sandstones especially spongy and cavernous on the approach to the sea, with layers of fine and very fine sand, interlayers and layers of sandy loam and loam sometimes up to several meters capacity. Plastic clay found at great depths below the water table.

We are interested in part of the section above the water table. It is so-called the unsaturated zone. It is just here worked out and laid tunnels and warehouses. Thus, the problem is formulated as a purely geological solution with some addition of hydrogeology and engineering geology. It is necessary to make this area impassable for mining such a technological level, which the terrorists from Gaza have in their possession.

Briefly how it is possible. Without invasion into Gaza, i.e. in Israel, but along the border, choose the route along low elevation sites. Using grader or other technique one should to loosen at the upper soil layer the strip a few meters wide. Along this strip, inside it, to drill down wells to a depth of 20m by auger drilling of large diameter of 20 inches or more (available). Wells are needed as a channel for further flooding. In a case a loam layer occurs it should be blocked by a tube keeping the channel for a long time. The borehole is desirable to fill in by a large gravel and even boulders to prevent imminent silting. Such wells must be placed approximately over 50m or less from each other along the whole of the trench. The drilling one bore may take one (!) hour. Ten rigs can finish all drilling around the border of Gaza with the arrangement of the borehole and wellheads for 2 months of working. In the future, several rigs remain for updating of the park of injection wells.
