If not already accomplished during construction, a common recommendation may be to install
instrumentation such as piezometers, observation wells, and seepage collection systems to
determine more definite patterns of seepage behavior.
Review the data on a regular basis to detect any major seepage changes and long-range
trends. If monitoring indicates that a potentially dangerous seepage problem may exist,
consider permanent structural or regulatory measures (i.e. permanent reservoir level
restriction).
If monitoring is selected as a remedial measure, it may also be desirable to consider automated
instruments with predetermined criteria or values to flag undesirable behavior.
