|abstract=
The Bureau of Reclamation design standards present technical requirements and processes to enable design professionals to prepare design documents and reports necessary to manage, develop, and protect water and related resources in an environmentally and economically sound manner in the interest of the American public.  Compliance with these design standards assists in the development and improvement of Reclamation facilities in a way that protects the public's health, safety, and welfare; recognizes needs of all stakeholders; and achieves lasting value and functionality necessary for Reclamation facilities.  Responsible designers accomplish this goal through compliance with these design standards and all other applicable technical codes, as well as incorporation of the stakeholders’ vision and values, that are then reflected in the constructed facilities. This chapter is intended to provide general guidance as to when dewatering should be considered and when a water removal and control professional/specialist should be included as part of the design team. This chapter is also intended to acquaint design engineers with the types of data that a water removal and control specialist requires to assist with design, as well as what types of support the specialist can provide.
