| Short description: |
he objective of this effort was to
conduct a full-scale demonstration of the use of the
high-resolution piezocone and GeoVIS to determine direction and
rate of ground water flow in three dimensions. While the GeoVIS
did not provide effective porosity values within the anticipated
range, the high-resolution piezocone and resulting models fall
within the quantitative tolerances set forth in this
demonstration. Therefore, the sensor probe approach to
determining hydrogeologic characteristics is deemed appropriate
for the demonstration site characteristics. When compared to
conventional approaches comprised of clustered well
installations, aquifer tests, sample analyses, and
three-dimensional and cross-sectional interpolations, cost
savings for flux distribution determination using the
high-resolution piezocone coupled with a membrane interface
probe system exceeds 60 percent
