What is a Groundwater Model

What is a Groundwater Model?

The Groundwater Model is an interactive classroom tool that is designed to show the flow of water and toxins though differing gradients. It can be used in front of the classroom and is easily used by students themselves. It may demonstrate flowage through confined and unconfined aquifers as well as the effects of pumping on these aquifers.

It can demonstrate many things including:

	Cone of depression
	Principles of artesian flow
	Well interference effects
	Two directional flow to a river
	Rain recharge effects on contaminant depth
	Groundwater movement through two textures of material and through an artesian aquifer
	Contaminant dispersion and dilution in an aquifer
	Groundwater inflow and outflow in a seepage lake
	The piezometric surface above a zone of saturation
	Leakage of lagoons, landfills or similar structures into groundwater
	Water quality stratification in the aquifer with narrow zones of contamination
	One directional groundwater flow with a change in water level over the two feet length of the model
	Salt Water Intrusion
	Hydraulic Fracturing and Ogallala Aquifer
