The making of a flow model

Packing Parties!

The Groundwater Flow Model is an educational device that can be used for presentations to groups of all ages. Movement of water and contaminants are easily demonstrated. The following are examples of some of the actions demonstrated: functioning of tile drainage systems, water table fluctuations, leaking landfills and underground storage tanks, movement of water in artesian wells, and non-point source leaching.

Outreach Presentations

 

The club also organizes recreational events. Some examples include: snow skiing trips, camping outings, canoe trips, and afternoon picnics complete with volleyball, softball, bocce ball? and barbeque.
