RAGBRAI 2010 BROCHURES
“Learn about the Land” 2010 RAGBRAI brochures are designed to help RAGBRAI riders (and others!) discover and interpret the beauty of the Iowa landscape. This year’s RAGBRAI highlights include biking over all of Iowa’s major landform regions in one of the flattest routes ever. To access the daily brochures, click here.

"MODFLOW" MODELS FOR DOWNLOAD

Groundwater flow within the Cambrian-Ordovician and Lower Dakota aquifers were modeled using Visual MODFLOW version 2009.1. In order to run the models on a local PC, compressed (.zip) files were created and placed on the Iowa DNR's FTP website for public consumption. Before downloading a compressed (.zip) file, please open the associated "README" file (.txt) to learn more about the selected model. To access these files, click here.
