“…There is a high demand for groundwater instruction because of strong employment prospects for trained hydrogeologists and the growing recognition of groundwater in other fields such as water resources and biology. For example, an article published in Science (Coontz 2008) indicates the strong demand for hydrogeologists. Also, according to the U.S. Department of Labor and the American Geological Institute (now the American Geosciences Institute), the job market for groundwater specialists is growing (Santi and Higgins 2005).…”

In this study, a sand-tank model as a physical analog of a real-world aquifer is presented for groundwater instruction. The sand tank is used for introducing flow nets and quantifying groundwater flow, for groundwater modeling and calibration via a spreadsheet, and for dye-transport modeling. Students learn from the sand tank through interaction and visualization, and by collecting and interpreting data. This integrates the theories from lectures into the sand-tank laboratories, enhancing students’ skills and understanding.
