Importance of Surface-Ground Water Interaction to Corps Total Water Management: Regional and National Examples

Abstract

In this report specific regional and national examples are described where surface and ground water are integral to the Corps of Engineers water control responsibilities. Each example includes a brief description, illustrative figures, and technical references. The references provide technical depth not present in the descriptions or figures. The regions covered by the examples are selected to provide a broad geographical distribution throughout the country. Two national examples are cited: wetlands, where discharge and recharge occur between surface and ground water, and Army installations where environmental restoration is focused on preventing surface contaminants from polluting underlying ground water supplies.
