Founded by Sherry Ingram, Professional Geologist (NC No. 2129), EnviroLinks is addressing regional drought conditions with site-specific documents and community presentations. Ms. Ingram has worked as an environmental geologist for 13 years, on small and large projects for both governmental and corporate clients, and applying a wide range of technologies and regulations. Projects have addressed contamination from dense nonaqueous-phase liquid (DNAPL), volatile and semivolatile organic compounds, pH, metals, and petroleum in groundwater, surface water, sediment, and soils. Ms. Ingram worked in the petroleum industry for eight years, on a national computer inventory of abandoned mine lands for two years, and as a teacher at many levels and settings for ten years.

DISCHARGE AND DROUGHT - JANUARY 2008


The class project I did for my GIS 215 class at ABTech pointed out the connection between discharging stormwater and increasing drought conditions. It seems to me that this would occur by way of lowering regional and local water tables and the resulting decrease in transpiration from plants. Revisions to land uses for ABTech are presented that could increase water infiltration by approximately 20 percent.


Collecting reports, visuals, and other information for this project was very satisfying, and it has become a topic in which my interest continues to increase.


I am working with Henderson County, NC, on their recently acquired digital colored orthophotos. This has allowed me to leave the tutoring position I have held for the past two years, and I am pleased to be utilizing the GIS training I have received during the past year.
