Daily Objectives #22 (April 8, 2004)                                             Dr. Sanders

Reminder:  Homework Assignment #6 is due today.

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  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.
        r Looking at case studies of other flow systems, make a conceptual model for those areas.

v  Ground Water Modeling:
    
   r Explain the difference between an analytical model and a numerical model. 
       r Explain what a numerical model of ground water flow is based on. 
       r Describe how to construct a grid for our project area.
