A nest of deep and shallow piezometers (ground-wat=
er
monitoring wells) was installed at the site of a new science-education
building for the Univer=
sity
of Southern Indiana in
November 2001. After completion of the building construction, these
piezometers will be housed in a ground-water
monitoring laboratory on the ground floor within the building. This
piezometer nest was designed and installed primarily =
for
undergraduate teaching and research purposes within the Department of Geo=
logy.
This installation permits direct student access to a bedrock ground-water
system used for local domestic supplies. The deep well was
drilled to a depth of 33.5 m (110 ft) and the shallow well was
installed at a depth of 18.3 m (60 ft). Intact bedrock cores were recovered from the piezometer screened interval=
s. The
nest displays vertical hydraulic gradients and the geochemical signatures=
of
deep and shallow ground water are distinct.
