Description

This assignment is for an introductory hydrology course. The assignment is to choose an aquifer from those listed and answer 7 questions. Each question should be answered with a complete paragraph. Examples of the questions are: What material does the primary aquifer consist of? and What extent (distance and thickness) does this aquifer type have? All sources need to be cited. Additional instructions along with the list of US aquifer regions are present within the assingment.

AHS 230 Aquifer Homework Do a brief investigation on one of the following U.S. aquifer regions of your choice:  Western Mt. Ranges  Alluvial Basins  Columbia Lava Plateau  Colorado Plateau and Wyoming Basin  High Plains  Non-Glaciated Central Region  Glaciated Central Region  Piedmont and Blue Ridge  Northeast and Superior Uplands  Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plain  Southeast Coastal Plain  Alluvial Valleys Region Hawaii  Alaska  Puerto Rico and Virgin Islands Be sure to cite your sources and include a “works cited” or “references” section at the end of you paper. Please refer to the SCSU Library website for more details on how to cite references https://www.stcloudstate.edu/library/learn/default.aspx. You may use whichever style of citation you like (e.g. APA, MLA, Chicago, other), but please be consistent. The following resources will be of help, • Mays Ground and Surface Water Hydrology Section 2.11 (p. 63–70) has a little information on all of these. I will make these pages available on D2L under Materials>Content>Course Materials>Mays Section 2.11 GW Aquifers US.pdf • The following USGS publication has more information on all of the aquifer types: https://pubs.usgs.gov/wsp/wsp2242/pdf/wsp2242.pdf The investigation should be at least three to seven paragraphs of text (Double-spaced) and must answer the following key questions regarding the aquifer type you choose. 1. Why did you choose to investigate the aquifer type that you picked? 2. What material (rock, sediment, soil) types does the primary aquifer consist of? 3. What sort of permeability (none, low, medium, high) does the primary aquifer occur? 4. What extent (distance and thickness) does this aquifer type have? 5. How does this previous information affect yield of wells? 6. What are other factors of this aquifer type that make it unique? 7. Are there any special circumstances that may cause concern or interest in this aquifer type?

Outline
The research paper is divided into the following sections based on the paper requirements

Section One: Explains the reason for choosing to investigate the Alaska aquifer
Section Two: Described the material (rock, sediment, soil) types that the primary aquifer consist
of
Section Three: Explains the sort of permeability (none, low, medium, high) that the primary
aquifer occur
Section Four: Explains the extent (distance and thickness) that this aquifer type have
Section Five: Explains ways in which the previous information affect yield of wells
Section Six: Describes other factors of this aquifer type that make it unique
Section Six: Describes any special circumstances that may cause concern or interest in this
aquifer type

Why did you choose to investigate the aquifer type that you picked?
I chose to investigate the groundwater in Alaska because it has one of the greatest
groundwater resources in the entire United States (Miller & Whitehead, 2007). Besides, the
groundwater resources in Alaska are used for the majority of domestic needs within the state, and
it not only critical for human use and the ecosystems. Moreover, the largest volume of frozen
groundwater in the entire country is located in Alaska. Although these resources are among the
greatest ...
