Groundwater mounding analysis definition
Groundwater mounding analysis means a test performed to demonstrate that the groundwater below a stormwater infiltration basin will not “mound up,” encroach on the unsaturated zone, break the surface of the ground at the infiltration area or downslope, and create an overland flow situation.
Groundwater mounding analysis means an analysis performed to demonstrate that the groundwater below a stormwater infiltration basin will not rise up and encroach upon the unsaturated zone and break the surface of the ground at the infiltration area or downslope, thereby creating an overland flow situation or drainage problem. ModFlow® or any ground water mounding analysis program may be used as long as the input parameters and the method of analysis consider all of the significant hydraulic conditions of the site.
