Workshop

Borehole Infiltration Workshop

This workshop is focused upon the understanding of how the rate of subsurface water movement is measured. From posthole digger to computer tablets a lot has evolved over the last few years. This workshop will cover different measurement methods, the accompanying calculations, and interpretation of the results. The workshop will be hosted by the Alabama A&M University Department of Biological and Environmental Sciences and facilitated by Mr. Thomas Macfie, Dr. David Radcliffe (University of Georgia), and Dr. Dedrick Davis (Alabama A&M University). Listed below is the tentative schedule for the workshop.
