The service is intended to save hours of time that would have been spent unraveling a problem or, further down the line, correcting an error resulting from mishandling of a problem. While utilizing the service, companies and professionals will be furthering the education of ground-water engineering students who will be learning by doing, and who will receive training to answer the phones. Funds that are not utilized to directly run the service will support student work in the area of ground-water modeling. The students have begun specific training for this task and are very enthusiastic about this endeavor. Courses will be designed to serve the present-day professional more effectively.
Professionals find it hard to get away from the office for an extended period of time.
A call for papers will be released soon. The first newsletter will be mailed with a card for returning contact information. We especially want to focus on obtaining E-mail addresses, because future newsletters will be published on the World Wide Web. Hard copies will be mailed to those who do not have an E-mail address. Consortium research projects will be selected by center sponsors.
