ABSTRACT
This chapter on groundwater engineering is concerned with the occurrence, movement, use and quality of water below ground. The section on fundamentals deals with the definitions, the properties of the unsaturated and saturated zones, and the physics of the movement of subsurface water. Specific engineering applications such as well hydraulics, well construction, contaminant transport, containment of contaminants, landfills, and geostatistics are discussed in the following sections.
