Ferré will build from the basic concepts of decision science to present concepts and recent developments in optimal design of hydrogeologic monitoring networks. He will also discuss how hydrogeologic models can be used for decision support under uncertainty. Finally, he will show that focusing hydrologic analysis on the specific, practical problems of interest can guide optimal measurement selection, advance hydrologic science, and improve the integration of science into economic and policy decisions. 2016 William A. McEllhiney Distinguished Lecture Series in Water Well Technology Farewell Presentation Wednesday, December 7 3:30–5 p.m. 101/102 No two water supplies are identi- cal, and to ensure a potable water supply that is safe, a thorough water analysis is the first place to start.
