1) The document discusses drawdown of groundwater in a large earth excavation for a nuclear power plant site near Lake Ontario. It describes a test excavation done to analyze drawdown response in irregularly stratified soils.
2) Finite element analysis and aquifer test theory were used to analyze drawdown data from the test excavation. The effect of recharge on transient and steady-state drawdown was also discussed.
3) Approximate methods for determining drawdown rate, seepage quantity, and steady-state water table position accounting for recharge in the main excavation are outlined.
