---|---|---|---|
1. Observe specific well construction sites and describe construction methods, rocks penetrated, change in water levels, yields of wells, and procedures to document inventories of wells. (I)
2. Service specific field equipment including gages, steel/electrical tapes, and water level monitoring recorders and use them to determine pumping levels, discharge measurements, and water levels. (II) 3. Report the occurrence and availability of groundwater in specific areas. (III) 4. Report on geologic and hydrologic conditions at specific public or industrial water supply locations. (IV) 5. Measure time draw-down/distance draw-down and calculate their relationship. (V) 6. Utilize maps and global positioning system (GPS) units to navigate. (VI) 7. Perform field inspections of surface water sites. (VII) 8. Record data using best practices and appropriate forms. (VIII) 9. Demonstrate the steps and apply the methods for determining velocity, stage, and discharge of stream flows. (IX) 10. Use and service field equipment at gaging stations. (X) 11. Compute discharge from stream flow measurements. (XI) 12. Identify high-water and point-of-zero-flow marks. (XI) 13. Apply safety procedures during all field assignments. (XII) | |||
MCCCD Official Course Competencies must be coordinated with the content outline so that each major point in the outline serves one or more competencies. MCCCD faculty retains authority in determining the pedagogical approach, methodology, content sequencing, and assessment metrics for student work. Please see individual course syllabi for additional information, including specific course requirements. | |||
