Subsections
Your lab report will consist of the following items:
- Water Table Map
- Draw ground water table contours on Fig. 6.1
in colored pencil using a 10 foot contour interval. Where data
is absent, follow the topography. Water table contours should
meet topographic contours only where water is at the surface!
Save a pristine copy of Fig. 6.1 in case of errors.
- Draw representative ground water flowlines (4-5,
perpendicular to the contour lines). The flowlines show the
probable path of groundwater.
- In red, draw the most likely path that a groundwater
nitrate plume coming from the Golf Course feeding Bullfrog Pond
would follow. Also draw the most likely path for a chemical
spill from the location of Point 1.
- Hydrogeologic Cross-Section
- Draw a topographic cross section which passes through the
hand-dug well (Point 1), the canoe trail (Point 7), the Wind
Mill (Point 8) and Wilson Creek (Point9))
- Draw on it the ground water table. Things like scale,
horizontal distance, elevations and orientation of the cross
section are mandatory.
- Turn in your final lab report within a week of the last lab to
the TA or Geosciences office. Other group's data need not to be
reported in this lab. Your hydrogeologic map will serve as the
required graphical summary. Discuss general trends in probable
groundwater movement at the Museum, and how that movement differs
from surface water movement and storm-related overland flow.
