Working Projects
| Center for Earthquake
Research and Information (CERI)
The Ground Water Institute is in cooperation with CERI and the USGS to develop and populate an Oracle database with geologic, hydrologic and geotechnical information to be used in the hazard map development process for Shelby County, Tennessee. This also includes lithological interpretation of geophysical logs and geotechnical borings, geographic information system (GIS) representation of various spatial information, and 3D fence diagrams. |

|
Tennessee Department of Environment and
Conservation (TDEC)
The Ground Water Institute is working with TDEC to generate GIS files of surface features (GDT data: rivers, roads, railroads, etc.), Zone 1 and 2 capture zones for water supply systems, National Elevation Data (NED) raster maps by watershed, Superfund site location, and GIS training. |
| United States Geological Survey (USGS)
The Ground Water Institute is collaborating with the USGS in an effort to model the Upper Mississippi Embayment incorporating new data and technologies in a project titled MATRAS (Mississippi, Arkansas, Tennessee Regional Aquifer Study) |
