Abstract

Considers the present groundwater levels in the Birmingham aquifer and predicts future levels under varying assumptions. Evaluates the engineering implications of the groundwater levels on building fabric, structure, foundations, basements, tunnels and underground services with observations on integrity and serviceability. Examines the possible effects on groundwater quality, and the implications for surface water quality and drainage. Assesses existing local groundwater control schemes and the need for future ad hoc or regional control of groundwater levels.
