HYDROGEOLOGY and GROUND-WATER DEVELOPMENT ALTERNATIVES IN THE BIG RIVER AREA, RI

 

PROJECT CHIEF: Gregory E. Granato and Paul M. Barlow

 

APPROACH

Define hydrogeologic properties of the aquifer and simulate potential ground-water development scenarios. Develop a conjunctive management model to "optimize" ground-water withdrawal patterns from the aquifer
