We have examined the dynamic dielectric response properties of a multiple quantum-wire system embedded in a semi-infinite plasma-like host medium assuming that each wire has just one active subband. The geometric dependence on z(0), the distance of the first quantum-wire from the bounding surface is determined. In particular, the coupled mode dispersion relation for the plasmons of an N-quantum-wire system in interaction with the surface and bulk plasmons of the host material is analyzed and its dependence on z(0) is exhibited.
