Ground Water Flow Model

This three dimensional model composed of layers of sediment represents an aquifer and features pumping, injection and testing wells, surface water bodies and artesian wells. This learning tool demonstrates the flow of ground water and how it is impacted by gravity, earth materials, and pumping. It also illustrates surface water-to-ground water connection.

Watershed Model

We all live in a watershed where sediment and pollutants are carried by runoff (water running over the land). This model demonstrates how water flows over the land moving from high to low elevation in a watershed.

Enviroscape Watershed Educational Tool

This model is a hands-on tool that connects what we do on land to what happens in our rivers, lakes, arroyos, and even in our ground water. Various themed Enviroscapes are available i.e. wastewater treatment, non-point source pollution, point source pollution, etc.
