ABSTRACT
In this project a model was produced of an area surrounding a limestone quarry west of Bloomington. The goal was to be able to interpolate from the model where the water producing formations were. The quarry was mining for limestone and after getting into the Salem formation they had to start pumping out water. Shortly after, surrounding residents called in to say their water wells had gone dry. By creating a model one could visually see what was under the surface.
