He began the project in the 9th grade and <br /> has competed in a National Service Project Contest. Over the past two years he has <br /> worked to GPS map all of the fire hydrants in the City of Batesville. Not only does <br /> this project help with location of the hydrants, it also gives valuable information about <br /> the amount of flow for each hydrant.
