#USGSLMG Scientists Roland Tollett, Brandon Anderson, and Spencer Smith, along with professors, staff, and graduate students from @CAESER_UofM, performed geophysical logs by direct-push drilling in the Memphis area to study the shallow aquifer and recharge to the Memphis aquifer.
#USGSLMG Hydrologists Ben Miller and Amy Hourigan, with Brian Hamm from @TNEnvironment, were interviewed by @WKRN about a cooperative project helping to determine the source of groundwater used for drinking water supplies.
