| Short description: |
This Engineer Manual provides guidance to Corps of
Engineers (CE) personnel who are responsible for
groundwater-related projects. This manual was written
with special attention to groundwater-related
applications prevalent within the CE. Thus, sections
addressing site investigation procedures and the
performance of modeling studies are included.
Additionally, a chapter focusing on the interaction

| Long description: |
This manual applies to all USACE Commands having
civil works responsibilities. This manual provides
information for application to common Corps
groundwater-related studies, including:
a. Site characterization for contaminant
remediation.
b. Computer modeling of groundwater flow.
c. Groundwater and surface water interaction
studies.
d. Reservoir operations.
e. Groundwater flow to adjacent locks and dams.
f. Remediation of reservoir leakage.
g. Infiltration of runoff to the subsurface.
h. Baseflow between aquifers and fixed bodies
including streams and reservoirs.
i. Effects of aquifer pumping on adjacent lakes
and streams.
j. Well installation involved with seawater
infiltration barriers.
k. Dewatering of an excavation for construction
purposes.
l. General regional and local applications.
