To order a model, or parts and repairs, open and print one of the forms listed. Please send or FAX (402-472-6338) the order to us. The free Acrobat Reader is required.
Models built to reflect specific site geologic conditions can be constructed on special request and at additional cost. See the order form for prices.

The University of Nebraska's Groundwater Flow Model is shipped in its carrying case, completely packed and ready to operate with the necessary accessories, including a hand-operated vacuum pump, flask to receive "pumped" water, water supply bottle, syringes for injecting "pollutants," and an operator's manual.
Due to a full schedule, we are not accepting new orders at this time.
What is ground water?
What is the orgin of ground water?Where does it go?
How is water stored underground?
Why does ground water flow?
How does ground water become contaminated?
Ground water concepts are easily demonstrated with the Ground Water Flow Model, a popular teaching tool for both young people and adult audiences. As water and contaminants are introduced into the model's system, observers can watch as it flows through the simulated underground rock formations. Students have fun learning about porosity, permeability, water tables, confined aquifers, and contamination.
