[0029] (3) Groundwater is extracted through the groundwater extraction well. After some groundwater is extracted, it is injected into the upstream groundwater injection well through the groundwater extraction main pipe 4 and the groundwater extraction branch pipe 6 to enhance the flow of groundwater. After some groundwater is extracted, it enters the filling area for repair through the groundwater extraction main pipe 4, the return main pipe 5 and the return branch pipe 9.
