QUESTION: Which set of hydrogeologic factors will enhance or inhibit transport?
Methods of Analysis • Soil Samples • Web-based research and mapping • Model
Model Capabilities • Allows students to manipulate: • Amount and intensity of rainfall • Permeability of strata • Depth to water table • Amount of runoff
Model Limitations • Controlling infiltration rate of rain • Having a data output for students to analyze • Making the slope look like a slope • Insert a contamination source to show transport through rock layers
Websites • www.noaa.com • information about precipitation • http://education.usace.army.html • info about depth to water table • www.usgs.gov • info about rock types • http://www.ngwa.org/ • great groundwater web site!
