If you click on the 'try safari now' link on the site and register for a free trial, you'll be able to see the whole book (but remember to cancel the trial once you're done, or a subscription starts!).PS. I should probably say up front that I'm the author. I hope I haven't done anything wrong by providing a link to these resources.

I think it's easist first to watch a short vidio clip I find these videos very relaxing to watch .. I got to thinking is this being done in the most efficient way? The sand has to be suspended in the water to move it to the outlet ... The faster the water , the more turbulance and the sand stays suspended, so it seems to me the rule of thumb is the hose be aimed towards the outlet at all times .. Many times the workers hit the sand directly which will greatly reduce the water...
