13. ABSTRACT (Maximum 200 words)
This is Volume 10 of the 12 volume report prepared by the Hydrologic Engineering Center of the
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers as a contribution to the International Hydrological Decade.

This volume describes the fundamental concepts which govern the occurrence and movement
of ground water, and presents the basic principles of hydrology, geology, hydraulics, and
physics as they relate to ground water. The information presented is sufficient to guide
hydrologic engineers in the identification and initial considerations of ground-water aspects of
water resource development studies. A generalized computer program description, "Finite
Element Solution of Steady-State Potential Flow Problems", is included as part of this volume.
This program is intended for application to problems involving steady two-dimensional or
axisymmetric flow through heterogeneous, anisotrapic porous media of virtually and internal or
external geometry.
