Abstract
An apparatus and method for moving at least some of the liquid in liquid bearing soil or ground are provided, the method comprising the steps of disposing a first electrode unit and a second electrode unit in the ground so as to have at least portions thereof disposed beneath the top surface of the ground and so as to have a section of the ground disposed between the portions of the electrode units, creating an electrostatic field between the portions of the electrode units to tend to move at least some of the liquid in the section of the ground toward one of the portions of the electrode units, and imposing a vibratory field arrangement on the section of the ground to enhance the movement of the liquid in the section of the ground toward the one of the portions of the electrode units, the step of imposing the vibratory field arrangement comprising the step of simultaneously imposing a plurality of different vibratory field actions on the section of the ground so that a plurality of different intensities and/or frequencies of the vibratory field arrangement act on the section of the ground in series between the portions of the electrode units as at least some of the liquid thereof is being moved between the portions of the electrode units.
