How can Drillers Benefit from Groundwater Modeling?
At Groundwater Week 2020, Reed Maxwell presents this year’s NGWA Darcy Lecture, which focuses on groundwater and the water cycle. Maxwell directs the Integrated GroundWater Modeling Center (IGWMC) at Princeton, where he is also a professor in Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) and the High Meadows Environmental Institute. We brought him on Drilling In-Site, episode 18, to talk all things groundwater.
“It tends to be hard to visualize,” Maxwell says. “Groundwater is out of sight, out of mind. It’s hard even for scientists, let alone the public and decision-makers. I think that’s one of our challenges. I think it’s as much a communications challenge as anything.”
