PRINCIPLES OF HYDROGEOLOGY
ESCI 337
Spring, 2004

Daily Objectives #21 (April 6, 2004)                                             Dr. Sanders

By the end of today's class, you should be able to do the following:

v  Using someone else's sketch of water levels in piezometers (I will assign this part), draw a quantitatively accurate flow net, including flow lines, equipotential lines (labeled with their hydraulic head value), and water table. 

v  Dam Flow Net: Post your dam flow net and compare it to those drawn by others in the class.

v
  Cross Section of the Project Study Area: Reminder:  Homework Assignment #6, due on Thursday, is to draw a cross section for the study area based on boring logs of the from the Illinois State Geological Survey's digital database. 

v  Conceptual Models:
       
r List and describe the three components of a conceptual model: hydrostratigraphic units, boundaries, and stresses.
        r Based on the geologic cross sections constructed by all of your group members, make a conceptual model for your study area.

v  Ground Water Modeling Software: Download and install a copy of Graphic Groundwater (GGW).  You can find it linked to this course's home page.  First, download Version 3.47 and install it.  Then download Version 3.52; it is simply an update and not the full version, so you'll need to install 3.47 before 3.52 will work.  Open up the sample model

Please note: Some of the GGW links work only in Internet Explorer, and not in Netscape.  The opposite may be true for some of the ESCI 337 course pages, which I compose in Netscape.  As a general rule, if you are having trouble with a link, try opening the page in a different browser.

You miay wish to examine the files below as a sample of a GGW model.  To get each file, double click on the link and select "Save File", then save each file in a place where you can find it again.  If that doesn't work, then just right click on the link on this page and select "Save Link Target As".  Then save it to a place where you can find it again.

          Grid for this model (extension .xls)--you don't need this file but might want to look at it
