Students in Engineering 325 (hydrogeology) have been discussing methods of analytizer aquifer test data, and earlier this month they had the opportunity for hands on field experience!
A mixture of Civil Engineering, Engineering Science, and Environmental Program students in the class went to the home of Dr. Marie Suthers, a professor of Anthrozoology at Carroll. She allowed students to pump her well at about 5 gpm for one hour followed by shutting the pump off and collecting the recovery data so the students could have a hands-on applied experience. They will evaluate the data and provide conclusions and recommendations. The weather provided a real Montana field experience with constant snowfall and a temperature of 18 degrees.
