Abstract: Various types of underground space have been developed to support human activities and civilization. The knowledge of groundwater hydraulics is indispensable in keeping excavation processes within safety limits and mitigating impacts on the groundwater environment. This review paper summarises history, categories, hydraulic problems and management in underground space technology. Some topics of mathematical modeling and characteristics in and around underground space structures are demonstrated to illuminate recent advancement in groundwater hydraulics. Attractive themes involving both hydraulics and underground space technology are suggested to boost a future progress.
