Rhode Island Celebrates Water Week
2003 at the Providence Water Supply Board
U.S. Geological Survey
staff members Mark Nimiroski, Kelly Stroker, and Emily Wild participated
the water week event. Educational demonstrations were given to over 200
second- and third-grade students from the Providence area. The USGS
display included a 3-dimensional ground-water model showing the movement
of water through the surficial deposits, an example of how to read
topographic maps and the information maps provide using a 3-dimensional
relief model, and a non-point pollution surface-water model. Sarah
Lovell assisted with the teacher packet preparations for the water week
event. Dennis Ventetuolo constructed the new 3-dimensional relief model
for the topographic map demonstration.
