  1. Groundwater David R. Maidment CE 394K.2 Spring 2005 Reading: Handbook of Hydrology, Chapter 6, Sec 6.1 to 6.7

  2. Groundwater Investigation • Can’t “see” groundwater so a lot more is done by inference and interpretation than for surface water • Site investigation • Conceptual model of geological environment and the flow system through it • Field measurements (bore holes, pump tests, geophysics) • Hydrogeologic simulation model (e.g. Modflow)
