THE AWESOME AQUIFER ADVENTURE
September 16, 2001 - March 24, 2002

The Awesome Aquifer Adventure exhibit makes learning about groundwater science and folklore exciting as well as educational. The exhibit presents the history of thought on groundwater from the earliest civilizations to modern day using posters, video and interactive displays. Visitors will learn about basic groundwater scientific terminology and concepts, groundwater and caves, groundwater use, and human impacts on groundwater. Watch a video about underwater cave exploration or visit an interactive station that will allow you to handle and learn about real aquifer materials while the demonstration exhibits focus on seeing groundwater flow in action. Visitors can also test their groundwater knowledge in a groundwater game. Don't miss this fascinating exhibit that illustrates the necessity of our most essential natural resource - water!

This exhibit was conceived by Hazlett-Kincaid Inc. a cutting-edge, geological and hydrogeological modeling and visualization service. Robert J. Libutti, an intern with the company, researched and designed the entire exhibit.
