Ground Water Topics Program Description Purpose. The main goal of the program is to assist with geologic mapping of potential aquifers by providing information between and beyond existing well data. For example, they can be used to find buried drums or other metal at hazardous waste sites. They can also help in archeological studies. Typically, EM and magnetic methods are used for these applications.
Geophysical mapping is done in conjunction with geological mapping and test drilling.
Program staff members work cooperatively with the Ground Water Technical Analysis Program, the Observation Well Program, and the Ground Water Mapping Program to support DNR mapping efforts. All rights reserved.
