Field Equipment for Undergraduate Hydrogeological Program

蒙大拿矿物科学与技术学院将购买一个数据记录器、六个水位记录器和记录器、一个油井监测系统、一个水质监测仪、一个地下水流量计、八个电导率仪、一个发电机、一个地层伽马探头、一个正常电阻率探头、两个井口温度探头、一个渗透率计、两个气举采样器、一个气相色谱仪和一个有机蒸气探测器。该设备将用于改进夏季野外水文地质学课程的教学。学生们将接受在建井、含水层测试、油井开发和水质监测方面的“动手”培训。蒙大拿州矿物科学与技术学院将与NSF的赠款相匹配，提供同等数额的资金，并将提供钻井和建设资金。

Montana College of Mineral Science and Technology will purchase a data logger, six water level recorders and logger, a well monitoring system, a water quality monitor, a ground water flow meter, eight conductivity meters, a generator, a stratigraphic gamma probe, a normal resistivity probe, two wellhead temperature probes, a permeameter, two air-lift samplers, a gas chromatograph and an organic vapor detector. This equipment will be used to improve instruction in a summer field course in hydrogeology. Students will receive "hands-on" training in well construction, aquifer testing, well development, and water quality monitoring. Montana College of Mineral Science and Technology will match the NSF grant with an equal amount of funds, and also will provide funds for well drilling and construction.
