Science and Products
Flowmeter Evaluation and Application
Borehole flowmeters with the capability to measure groundwater velocity and direction of flow are tested and applied to various hydrogeologic settings.
Glacial Aquifer System - Hydrogeologic Properties
Water-well drillers’ records are used to create maps and grids of hydrogeologic properties for the glaciated United States.

Do you recall the drought of 2012? Precipitation deficits during July 2012 were widespread. Morse Reservoir was a prominent sight that was highly visible in the news. Photos showed million dollar mansions with boats stranded on the lakebed. This drought took many by surprise, however, there were hydrologic signs during 2011. Events like this (and California) have brought some welcome attention to...
Kankakee River at Davis, IN Mega Gage: Monitoring Groundwater/Surface-Water Interactions
What is the groundwater contribution to nitrates in surface water? That's the question we are trying to answer by looking at surface-water and groundwater interaction and the role each play in the movement of nitrates. We have added additional monitoring equipment to the USGS super gage Kankakee River at Davis, IN, which will allow us to calculate the nitrate load in groundwater using flow...
