KUR is pleased to announce that cave survey data and underwater photograph images collected during explorations at both Twin Dees and Weeki Wachee were recently included in a numerical modeling poster presented at the  U.S. Geological Survey Karst Interest Group Meeting held in Bowling Green, Kentucky, May 27-29, 2008.  Proceedings for the meeting can be found here.

The paper submitted with the poster discusses how the MODFLOW-2005 Conduit Flow Process (CFP), developed by the U.S. Geological Survey, was used to simulate discharge and matrix-conduit water levels in a dual-permeability karst aquifer underlying Weeki Wachee, in west-central Florida. The authors of the paper are Melissa E. Hill (SWFWMD/USF), Angel Martin (SWFWMD) and Marc T. Stewart (University of South Florida).

This collaboration effort illustrates the continued partnership between Karst Underwater Research (KUR), the Southwest Florida Water Management District (SWFWMD), the University of South Florida (USF), and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS).  To view a larger image of the poster included in the paper click here.
