(Ft. Dodge, IA) — Ft. Dodge and Webster County residents may notice a helicopter flying at low altitude Monday and the rest of the week.
W-H-O/T-V reports the helicopter is being used to map groundwater resources in the area. The chopper is equipped with a heptagon-shaped tube dangling underneath. That tube is a sensor that measures electromagnetic signals and allow scientists to create maps detailing geological features below the surface.
Webster County Emergency Management is asking the public to NOT call 9-1-1 if they see the helicopter flying overhead.
