Well Sealed
Overview
Wells sometimes dry up or are just not used any longer, but when you leave them unprotected our groundwater is at risk! Two models are used. One is properly sealed and the other is not. Students will be shown how a well not properly sealed can release contaminants into the surrounding area.
