    ground water flow into detention pond

    I am working of a design where the detention pond normal water elevation is lower than the groundwater table and would like some advise on the best way to compute the amount of groundwater that will enter the pond. The water tabel is about 3 feet higher that the normal water level in the pond

    settlement in sandy soil

    I'm involved in a project in Northeast Florida where it is proposed to design a detention pond with the normal water surface about 2 feet below the water table. It will have a weir at the design normal water level and it is intended to drain all of the water table above the design normal water...

    variable speed pumps

    I recently talked to a salesman and he said that the variable speeds units that control the electic power were very effective and didn't cost that much. The last variable speed pump I designed was in 1988 and it was a diaster. Could I have comments from other engineers with their opinions on the...
