~ecessily taught in the field and 03 a one-on--one basis. A<br />
classroozi discussion of the results and the significance of the<br />
data was givei? to show the relationship between individual well<br />
kasts and the respective geologic areas- Those individuals who<br />
bad the o:p<strong>part</strong>ar;ty to attend the E.S. Geological Suwey short<br />
course an groundwaZer %end to do well an data collection and<br />
interpretation. Adeitional training and axperience is needed by<br />
all Sydxogeoisqists j.n this effort-<br />
There are at tkfs time five hydrageologists, and five<br />
assistant ~ydrogeologists In cou2try with sufficient training to<br />
be of service to the MCh drilling operations. Three<br />
hydrogeologist cse completing their degree programs at the<br />
Gnlvsrsity of Arizona, and are expected to return soon. Several<br />
af these individuals have requested enrollment in a groundwater<br />
corresg~ndencs course offered by Wright State University.<br />
Training of personsel az the ?Whi laboratory faced the same<br />
problems as ail groups. nzmaly, lack of attendance and lack of<br />
incentive to <strong>part</strong>icipate iii training activities. The laboratory<br />
had a staff of twenty-five, Sut only one was a professional<br />
ckezist. The fey who attended on a regular basis had been<br />
previausly trafned in basic analytical work, and were able to<br />
perfom some geochemical analyses under s ~pe~isian, but were<br />
nat able to perform routine water analyses.<br />
W i t h the initiation of the CGDP, five professional chemists<br />
and two l.aboxzt3ry technicians were recrc ited, All. the<br />
pr~fessionai chemists and one laboratory technician have<br />
received, us are receiving, training in the U.S. Tvo of the<br />
cheaists Ire still in the G.S., two have been released, and<br />
three are still ~orXFng zt the laboratory. Those individuals<br />
staying with the progrzm have received 03T for water chemistry,<br />

Trior to introducing analytical water analysis techniques,<br />
fcms fur receiving samples and for registering results were<br />
cevelope6. These fam.s have bee2 made a <strong>part</strong> of the established<br />
lzboratory prccedure for wzter analyses. Figures 2.2,l and<br />
2.2.2 tre exomples of these fo,lr..s.<br />
TraFnizg was ~Fve? in " ,he preparation of analytical<br />
routines for water sa~ple analyses after the methods were<br />
standarbired by the consultantst cnemist. Standardization<br />
consisted of developing techniques compatible with the<br />
laboratory epip~ent~ extrexes in water cpafity and available<br />
reagents. Seventeen paraxeters were standardized that included:<br />
EC, T>S, ?if, Ca, Hg, IS, X+, I(, CL, 5D4, HCD NOa, 3, WH4, Fe,<br />
