Conversely, the decline of industry in many cities and\/or the provision of better piped supplies has led to greatly reduced water abstraction. The ensuing rise in water levels has caused flooding or uplift of basements and tube tunnels, together with the differential movement of buildings constructed on a mixture of deep and shallow foundations.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book addresses these problems and provides comprehensive coverage of background information, data interpretation, details of the rising and falling groundwater levels and possible engineering solutions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e W.
