Dr. Paul Barlow and Stanley Leake Have Received the John Hem Award for Excellence in Science & Engineering from the National Ground Water Association
Dr. Paul Barlow of the U.S. Geological Survey in Northborough, Massachusetts, and Stanley Leake of the USGS in Tucson, Arizona, have received the John Hem Award for Excellence in Science & Engineering from the National Ground Water Association.
The John Hem Award honors significant scientific or engineering contributions to the understanding of groundwater. The award will be presented in December at the 2014 NGWA Groundwater Expo and Annual Meeting in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Barlow and Leake won the award for their contributions to the understanding of groundwater. Collectively, they have more than 60 years of experience in the investigation of groundwater/surface water exchange and numerical simulation.
The primary objective of the report is to summarize insights developed over seven decades of scientific research directed at understanding the effects of groundwater pumping on streamflow. Complex scientific concepts are presented in simple graphs that can be used to understand and manage streamflow depletion. The report also highlights several common misconceptions about streamflow depletion and explains why these misconceptions are inaccurate.
