The new web site, which
provides information about our community-based groundwater monitoring network
in Rocky View County has launched. The new
web site provides information about the research, community outreach and
educational material that make our project unique. Please visit our site at www.ucalgary.ca/groundwaterconnections
The research section of the
website will provide readers with scientific information related to the
Groundwater Connections project. On this
page you will be able to find information on the climate and geology of Rocky
View County. In addition there is an
explanation of some basic hydrogeological processes, with the option to
download Fact Sheets, which provide further information.
The Community Connections
section is about how the volunteer-based groundwater monitoring network was
developed. This provides community
members and other municipalities with the background of the predecessor project
located in West Nose Creek and information about the current County wide
project. This provides community members
and other municipalities with the background of the predecessor project located
in West Nose Creek and information about the current County wide project.
The final section is the
educational component of our project, which will include information for both
teachers and students. This section provides resources for teachers to bring
local groundwater research into their classrooms. On the Education Connections
page there are four activities, which are related to the adapted research
article located on the Research Connections page. These resources will be available online for
local Grade 8 science teachers to use.
If you are interested in learning more about hydrogeology, community groundwater projects or the application for Grade 8 science classes, I would encourage you to visit our website!
