At present, deterioration of water quality in closed water body has become a serious issue for the local fishery and an accumulated mud layer which covers lakebed has been thought as the cause of the deterioration. Then, it can be said that the maintenance and preservation of the water environment by retrieving the mud layer is one of the most important subjects to preserve and to promote the regional economy with maintaining precious marine resources.
In this paper, the authors propose a new retrieving method of lakebed mud on site. This method has been developed as an innovative way that requires neither additional chemicals for condensation of the mud nor a temporary yard for desiccation of the mud. This research aims to obtain fundamental knowledge about the retrieving torque and its efficiency to establish this new method. The experimental result shows that the mud can be retrieved with the fan efficiently enough to adopt the method practically. However, further experiment is necessary under various mud conditions to improve the efficiency.
