Overview
The control of groundwater is one of the most common and complicated problems encountered on a construction site. The Second Edition explains the physical laws governing groundwater and soils, and provides practical solutions to construction dewatering problems. New chapters on groundwater computer modeling, dealing with industrial wastes and contaminated water, and operating long-term dewatering systems provide the latest information on these important topics.Editorials
Booknews
New edition of a source of practical information first published ten years ago giving guidance to engineers on subjects connected with analyzing groundwater problems before excavation begins and developing solutions that get the job done, on time and within budget. The first section, on theory, involves the disciplines of soil mechanics, hydrology, geology, and fluid mechanics--discussed in enough, but not excessive detail. The second section covers choosing a method and the various systems. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)Book Details
