8am - 4:30pm
Continuing Education and Conference Center
University of Minnesota, St Paul
Our understanding of groundwater flow has evolved from classical Darcian flow through porous media to fracture flow in bedrock to conduit systems in karst. Morning talks will review our current understanding of porous media flow and aquifer properties and introduce the concept of hydrostratigraphy. Afternoon talks will present current examples of dual and triple porosity aquifers including fractured, carbonate and karst aquifers.
