Abstract Details

2006, Master of Science, Miami University, Environmental Sciences.
This practicum was carried out along the Great Miami River at Charles M. Bolton well field site 6 corresponding to pumping well 6 owned by Greater Cincinnati Water Works. The aim of the study was to assess the impact of storms and floods on the hydraulic conductance of the bed of the Great Miami River using seepage meters in conjunction with mini-piezometers and the method outlined by Lee (1977). In this study the hydraulic conductivity of the streambed was measured before and after flooding and ranged from 2.53×10-3 to 5.22×10-1cm/s. The streambed conductivity was lower compared to the glacial aquifer conductivity measured by other researchers. The pre-and post-flood hydraulic conductivities were not significantly different (p=0.77).
