SeriesSEE, An Excel Add-IN—Download and install before class.
C01_SeriesSEE-INTRO
- Overview of SeriesSEE and working with time series
- CLASS EXERCISE–Use SeriesSEE to view data, eliminate noise, quickly offset dozens of times series to a common datum, and reduce continuous discharge data
- CLASS EXERCISE–Reduce high-frequency flow measurements and create cumulative production record
C02_ObservationWell-WLM
- Overview of water-level modeling to simulate environmental fluctuations such as barometric changes, earth tides, and regional trends in groundwater wells.
- Demonstrate extracting small drawdowns by modeling pumping and environmental fluctuations with water-level models
- CLASS EXERCISE–Isolate small drawdowns during an aquifer test near Topock, AZ where daily fluctuations of Colorado River stage affected groundwater levels
C03_ComplexGeology_PahuteMesa
- Demonstrate that pumping signals can be approximated with Theis transforms in hydrologically complex settings
- CLASS EXERCISE–Isolate small drawdowns during an aquifer test beneath Pahute Mesa, NNSS, NV (Garcia and others, 2017)
