Groundwater Flow Model
The Groundwater Flow Model is an educational device constructed of sturdy layered sand lenses to represent a sliced section of earth. Movement of water and contaminants are easily demonstrated to groups of all ages. Through the use of water tinted with food coloring or grape Kool-Aid, it is possible to observe a wide range of groundwater movements and contamination events. The following are examples of demonstrations: water table fluctuations, leaking landfills & underground tanks, non-point source leaching, and contamination.
