Overview

The control of groundwater is one of the most common and complicated problems encountered on a construction site.

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)
