This educational video is aimed at those unfamiliar with groundwater resources and groundwater contamination. The exclusion of audio is purposeful; the video guides the “reader” during the groundwater contamination simulation and visualization of groundwater plumes. This “animated reading” approach enables self-paced learning, including further contemplation when needed by pausing the video without losing the value of the written word.

“Excellent presentation for the general public.” – Dan Brown, Brown Law Office

“Good video indeed. Just started looking for educational videos on groundwater/contamination/remediation and think this is a winner for introducing basic concepts. The “exclusion of audio” is interesting and certainly opens up the ability of a teacher to repeatedly pause the video to explain/add/question students. Nice job.”

“This is a great platform for providing understandable info to the general public and those outside of the field. Great work!” – Louis Volpe, Environmental Science Specialist at Montana Dept Environmental Quality

“This is fantastic! It makes it really clear how contamination can travel up as well as down – something which can be challenge for the novice to grasp. I can see uses for this outside the formal education setting (e.g., a client who doesn’t quite understand the problem they have). I for one will be checking out the other videos – thank you.” – Phil Child, Senior Consultant; Geotechnical Information Management; Seequent, the Bentley Systems Subsurface Company

“Congratulations, Andrew, for this didactic video. It should be made available to high schools systematically.” – Jean Fried, Project Scientist, University of California, Irvine
