william simpkins professor Finding out just how good Ames' water really is. "One of my concerns
is that while the city has a great water supply from the Ames aquifer, it's
only a matter of time before others want to use that water source." Because
of that concern, William Simpkins went to the City of Ames with a plan to reexamine
the water supply. Over the next three years Bill and his graduate students will
be conducting a study of the quantity and quality of the groundwater available
to Ames for drinking water. This includes an examination of groundwater flow
and nutrient transport to the lakes in Ada Hayden Heritage Park, the lakes that
currently serve as the backup water supply to the city. |
