Abstract

Doing more with less, developing a groundwater elevation model

Recent federal regulations require underground stormwater injection systems provide proof of protectiveness and adequate separation from groundwater sources. After exploring trial versions of the Spatial and Geostatistical extensions, it became apparent that interpolation could be utilized, with existing data, to create a surface that would model water table conditions locally. The new surface provided groundwater separation values that demonstrated the protectiveness of each injection system.
