In honor of World Water Day: March 22nd, 2011

This blog will contain information on technical tools I've developed to help with my professional life as a hydrogeologist. Professional tools will include items such as excel files that plot trilinear diagrams, database formats, and schematics. It will also provide information and opinions about non-profit agencies that are involved with water and sanitation issues in the developing world. Enjoy!
