Edit:
Was the question worded like that on the test? Because it seems to imply that the state in question uses a single aquifer for all its groundwater needs.gyourkoshaven wrote:Which state's aquifer is completely polluted?

Re: Awesome Aquifers B
Wait, is there some sort of master list that I've been missing? All of them... out of what? Sorry, I'm confused.

Re: Awesome Aquifers B
Yes, the event supervisor said it was made so you couldn't finish. I actually think there were a few (4 or 5) that were on the nats list, and this was a state competition!I think we got all of them but 8.FueL wrote:

There is a master list for concepts at : http://www.groundwater.org/pe/docs_so/AABstudyguide.pdf.
Edit: Like I posted earlier, FueL, the question was something like "In which state are all aquifers polluted?" It did not mention if how many aquifers there were.

Re: Awesome Aquifers B
Ooh, that list. But the event writer can still take concepts that aren't on that list and put it on the event, right? Thanks

That sounds like a really crazy competition. (in other words, I would've loved to compete in ithavenguy wrote:Yes, the event supervisor said it was made so you couldn't finish.

Haha.That sounds like a really crazy competition. (in other words, I would've loved to compete in it)
@TYG: Yes, they can.
Anyway, I didn't know that the event supervisors could make up their own concepts. Where did you find anything that says this?

Re: Awesome Aquifers B
Bah. I thought I remembered seeing something that said the concepts weren't limited to things on the list, but I can't find it now. My mistake.havenguy wrote:Haha.

Re: Awesome Aquifers B
the thing is, the top is labelled "sample" so wouldn't that imply that there are other concepts?
