Status Update: GWB @ Clemson

The GWB project at Clemson is advancing with ongoing data collection in the watershed. A new weather station has been installed to improve evaporation estimates during dry seasons. The development of a new inversion package for EM1DFM enhances aquifer imaging. Field training plans are being crafted, with FES staff set to observe Clemson's field camp. Intern Sudershan Gangrade is joining to gather research on EMI responses. Upcoming field trips will focus on irrigation and drilling. Presentations on water management and stakeholder involvement are planned for major conferences.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Status Update: GWB @ Clemson (Progress Update Since Dec. Annual Report) • Data collection in watershed and analysis of data is ongoing • Installed a new weather station at the site that will collect additional data for improved evaporation estimates in the dry season • Developed a new inversion package for EM1DFM (GIF, UBC) that allows for a small number of layers with moving boundaries to improve aquifer imaging • Currently identifying locations for drilling new wells, FES is interviewing drillers • Trip being planned for FES staff (Chiranjit Guha, head geologist) to observe Clemson’s field camp in June to assist in developing formal field training plan for NGOs/students in India (tentatively scheduled for Dec/Jan) • Student Sudershan Gangrade (student intern in 2009) joins the project, will pursue MS research at Clemson on EMI responses in soils. To spend June-August working with farmers in Salri • Scheduling next field trip for Matz/Moysey in August with focus on working with farmers on dry-season irrigation program, drilling, and pumping tests (final trip is tentatively planned for Dec/Jan to follow up with farmers and close project) • Matz presents paper “Evaluating a water balance model for small dams using field data collected in rural India” at 2010 Clemson Hydrogeology Symposium • Moysey submits invited abstract “The importance of stakeholders in community-based geophysics programs” for SEG Annual Meeting • Matz tentatively scheduled to graduate in August, 2010 (thesis in progress)
