Dr. Sanders
* Reminder: Homework
Assignment #5 is due today!
* Before you leave today, please fill out and hand in the "Peer Rating of Team Members" form.
* Last week you estimated how much water would be needed to fill the
Darcy tube. We will test your estimates today!
By
the end of today's class, you should be able to do the
following:
v Design and perform an experiment
using the Darcy tube.
v Explain the meaning of the terms hydraulic conductivity (K) and intrinsic permeability (Ki), and explain the difference between the two.
v Give typical ranges of the
value of hydraulic conductivity and permeability
of different types of porous materials, using the correct units of
measurement.
v Find the answer to problem 5 at
the end of Chapter 3 (p. 110), in which you calculate the K of sediment
given its intrinsic permeability.
v Convert latitude and
longitude measurements from units of decimal degrees to units of
degrees, minutes, and seconds.
Lambert Coordinates
v Draw a contour map of ground
water elevation for the shallow aquifer (glacial sediments) based on
the values given on the map on p. 110 (see instructions on p. 109).
