Module Description

This  module will introduce the idea of groundwater depletion in an aquifer system.  The module can be extended by analyzing and modeling different chemical constituents within the aquifer as well.  

Computational modeling will be introduced by using Excel, Graphical Analysis, and  Stella.  Data will be supplied from Internet sources as well as student collection through the "Testing the Waters of the Ogallala Aquifer on the Texas High Plains" Palm Pioneer Grant.

This module was first developed in 2001 by Team 23 of the SC National Computational Science Leadership Program "Developing Educational Leadership in
