Abstract
This report is a review of the author's experience as an intern with
William F. Guyton & Associates. William F. Guyton & Associates is a consulting
groundwater hydrology firm with offices in Austin and Houston, Texas. The intern worked at the
main office in Austin for the duration of the internship. The author worked on a variety of
projects during the internship. These projects encompassed general groundwater studies,
computer simulation, technical analyses of aquifer parameters, and inspection of water well
construction and testing. General groundwater studies involved the collection of water well
construction and chemical analyses data. The author wrote several computer codes to handle
basic computations, and the author used several existing finite difference codes to simulate
groundwater movement. The technical analyses of pumping test data were analyzed by the author
to determine aquifer parameters. The field work involved on-site inspection of water well
construction and involved quality control of the pumping test after construction. The author
interacted with various agencies of the state and federal government. This interaction was
necessary to many of the projects. The collection of water well data and the use of the finite
difference codes gave the author the opportunity to obtain knowledge of the daily operations
of these agencies.
