Grain-Size And Permeability Of Sediments Within The Hyporheic Zone At The Theis Environmental Monitoring And Modeling Site, Great Miami River And Buried Valley Aquifer, Southwest Ohio, Usa, Timothy Wayne Cornett Jan 2021

Grain-Size And Permeability Of Sediments Within The Hyporheic Zone At The Theis Environmental Monitoring And Modeling Site, Great Miami River And Buried Valley Aquifer, Southwest Ohio, Usa, Timothy Wayne Cornett

Browse all Theses and Dissertations

The Theis Environmental Monitoring and Modeling Site is a field research facility, located on the Great Miami River in southwest Ohio, dedicated to the study of hyporheic zone processes. The site is underlain by an aquifer on the order of 21 meters thick, comprised of fluvial deposits. The permeability of the aquifer sediments was quantified both from one large scale hydraulic test (~100 m radial distance) and from grain-size analysis of 119 small-scale core samples (~20 cm length each). The permeability determined from the large-scale hydraulic test is 98.9 Darcies. The test also gave a value for specific yield of …
