O. Fenton ABSTRACT The objective of the present study was to construct electronic groundwater maps for the 60.5 ha dairy farm in the Teagasc Environment Research Centre at Johnstown Castle, Wexford, Ireland. Monitoring wells were drilled to a maximum density of 0.28 well/ha. A two dimensional groundwater data model of the study area was created with a data visualisation and interpolation tool using water table and surface water elevations. Groundwater transport vectors were constructed by dividing effective porosity and hydraulic conductivity into three zones. The resulting maps may be used in future experimental design.
