Common use of Groundwater Clause in Contracts

Groundwater. The Long Beach Peninsula, including the Long Beach area, has a groundwater system similar to that of a homogeneous “island” groundwater flow system, where a lens of less dense freshwater “floats” on top of a body of more dense salt water. Recharge to the groundwater system is from infiltration/percolation of rainfall. Groundwater generally moves perpendicular to the spine of the Peninsula. A groundwater divide exists where groundwater is its most shallow along a north-south axis, and groundwater moves away from this divide west or east toward either the Pacific Ocean or Willapa Bay, respectively. The most prominent groundwater features in the dune area are interdunal wetlands located in the deflation plain🕈 behind the foredune🕈.
