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.

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

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 ...
