Ground Water Monitoring & Modeling

Ground water monitoring and modeling is an essential and efficient tool for assessing the health of an aquifer and its ability to provide clean drinking water and sustain ecosystems. Groundwater modeling is a tool used to simulate the flow of water underground, and analyze potential impacts from activities such as farming, urbanization and industrial uses. Groundwater monitoring is a process used to measure changes in water quantity and quality. This data, combined with the results of modeling, helps to inform policy and decision-making about the use of water, and helps scientists and water managers to anticipate and plan for water supply needs and potential water quality problems.
