Abstract
Each year thousands of projects require some type of groundwater control. Whether it is minor seepage or a complex groundwater flow, a proper assessment of the conditions at the site and the selection of an appropriate groundwater control system is essential to the successful completion of the project. This chapter will describe procedures that can be of assistance in the assessment, selection, design, installation, operation and removal of groundwater control systems.
