Much of his rece nt work has been in preparing Water District data for the new California G roundwater Sustainability Law implementation. He has also been involved in evaluating groundwater supplies for shale hydraulic fracturing and propos ed power plants in the desert southwest. His technical expertise includes developing one of the first groundwater solute-transport models in the nat ion for the Upper Coachella Valley. Mr. Swain also participated in the dev elopment of the groundwater model for California&rsquo\;s Central Valley, where he developed the program to include water from aquifer compaction an d land subsidence into the model. He was also responsible for the first, a nd so far only, analysis of the chemical quality of groundwater for all th e Hawaiian Islands, and has evaluated the carbonate and crystalline aquife rs in an 11-state area from New Jersey to Alabama.\r\nSCHOLASTIC SPONSOR:\ r\n\r\nMEETING COSTS:\r\nMembers: $40.00 Non-Members: $50.00 Students: $15 .00\r\n\r\nIf you register after Noon on Monday, February 5th, or walk-in, a $5.00 surcharge will be added to the meeting cost.\r\nPlease pay online by credit card or at the meeting by cash or check payable to: GROUNDWATER RESOURCES ASSOCIATION (GRA).

The San Diego Bra nch is pleased to present:
Lindsay A. Swain, Senior Hydrogeologist
Groundwater models have been used for years in solving groundwater p roblems. However, too often just how these models work and what value they can provide has not been explained in a way such that everyone can unders tand their value and possible limitations. This presentation will explain what the model solving program is versus the groundwater basin data set mo del. The presentation will describe steady state, transient, finite differ ence, finite element and other terms that have been used to describe groun dwater models. The value of using a model with limited data and in predict ion will be discussed.
