USGS Technology Transferred at FRACDAY Workshop

In June 1998, a field demonstration of technologies and field methods--developed and tested at the Mirror Lake, New Hampshire, Fracture Rock Research Site--was presented to 200 attendees including federal, state and local water-resource managers. The workshop was held at an instrumented field site in Hopewell, New Jersey, in the Metropolitan New York City area. The purpose of the demonstration was to provide an overview of field techniques that can be used to characterize fractured rock terrain and that could be used to help solve environmental assessment or water supply problems.
