Aquifer Characterization at UT Knoxville

University of Tennessee at Knoxville has a hydrogeology research field site in an alluvial aquifer on the Tennessee River. The site was developed by Larry McKay, Ed Perfect and their colleagues at the UT. We spend a day at the field site learning about aquifer characterization techniques from Larry McKay and vadose zone techniques from Ed Perfect.

University of Tennessee Field Site for hydrogeology where we did hydraulic well tests and vadose zone tests	We start the day with Larry McKay explaining the stratigraphy	Discussing the core
Larry McKay explaining procedures for conducting pumping test	Getting ready for the test	Installing the pump
Recording drawdown in the piezometers	Ed Perfect showed us some vadose zone techniques before we got started with the pumping test
