This is the far side of the hydrology and environmental engineering lab, which is
equipped with storage areas, multiple sinks, and several tables in the middle of the
room for groups to work at. The jar tester is visible by the window.
This jar tester can be set to stir jars with its stainless steel paddles at a regulated,
programmable speed.
This hydraulic flume is a scale model of the flow of water in a simple channel.
