A
ground-water flow model for southeastern Wisconsin, cooperatively developed under
the guidance of the Southeast
Regional Planning Commission and with the participation of many municipalities
in the region, provided insight into the relation between ground water and the
Great Lakes.
The Wisconsin Geological
and Natural History Survey and the U.S.
Geological Survey collaborated on the ground-water model. The scientists
responsible for the project were Daniel T. Feinstein, James T. Krohelski and
James R. Nicholas of the USGS and Kenneth R. Bradbury, Timothy T. Eaton and David
J. Hart of the Wisconsin Geological and Natural History Survey.

Dr. Paul Hsieh customized the USGS graphics
program MODEL VIEWER to render some of the 3D figures.
