An innovative field hydrology course incorporating a ground water modeling exercise was offered by Queens College (City University of New York) in the summer of 2001. Great Neck Peninsula of Nassau County, New York was used for the modeling location. Students gained experience in collecting modeling data, selecting boundary conditions, calibration process, and compared the model predicted potentiometric surface maps with manually prepared potentiometric surface maps using field colleted hydraulic head data. This experience was helpful for our students’ future career.
