Groundwater Modeling
The purpose of the conceptual flow and transport modeling at LANL is:
- To provide a fundamental understanding of flow and transport on the Pajarito Plateau
- To describe the hydrologic conceptual model as determined from hydrologic studies of groundwater in the alluvial, vadose zone and regional aquifer
- To provide a framework for specific contaminant transport investigations
- To demonstrate how grounwdwater flow and transport models provide technical assistance to communities
The technical approach is accomplished through three aspects:
- Deep well drilling for geological characterization, geophysical logs, identification of perched water, geochemical sampling and contaminant sampling
- Hydrologic of measurements testing
- Analysis of these data to identify recharge zones, travel times and creation of conceptual and numerical models to quantify conclusions
