Construction of Water Table Maps Using GIS part of GIS and Remote Sensing:Activities2
This is an educational activity page detailing a GIS-based lab exercise where upper-level geology and engineering students construct water table maps and flow nets using elevation data from seepage lakes in Nebraska’s Sand Hills to analyze groundwater-surface water interactions and infer lake chemistry, with downloadable teaching materials and peer-review validation.

Shorelines of Glacial Lake Hitchcock part of GIS and Remote Sensing:Activities2
Educational activity page detailing a GIS-based geomorphology exercise where students analyze Glacial Lake Hitchcock's shorelines by removing isostatic rebound from DEM data to interpret delta stratigraphy and past lake levels, including teaching goals, context, and downloadable instructional materials.

Using GIS to Construct Water Table Maps and Flow Nets part of Hydrogeology:Activities
Seepage lake elevation data from the Sand Hills of Nebraska is used to construct a water table map and flow net using ESRI's ArcMap software. Students learn how to use GIS software to analyze patterns of ...
