Groundwater Occurrence and Aquifer Types
Groundwater Occurrence and Aquifer Types
Presented on Tuesday, December 3, 2013
Can you explain how groundwater flows—and do you understand its movement? What are the types of geologic environments in which groundwater can exist? Do you know the characteristics of confined and unconfined aquifers? This workshop is designed as both a primer and refresher on factors that will contribute to the installation of a successful well.
