IntroductionMany Americans, especially those in metropolitan areas, take the availability and abundance of good water for granted. For many rural people, however, adequate and safe water supplies are not guaranteed. Approximately one sixth of all Americans rely on a groundwater supply that is continually threatened by increased demand and sources of contamination. A team of six Systems Engineering students under the direction of Professor Garrick E. Louis, developed a model for ground water assessment (GWA) that could be used for planning development in rural areas that depend primarily on ground water for their water supply. The project was carried out on private wells in the Ivy subdivision of Albemarle County, Virginia.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
