Using models to simulate movement, direction, and velocity of groundwater and contaminants Aries will assess the impact of contamination on nearby wells or surface water.
Assessment Criteria:
Groundwater Flow - MODFLOW simulates hydraulic heads and flow directions to form the transport model's baseline.
Contaminant Transport Simulation using MT3DMS/RT3D - flow model outputs to project:
Plume evolution over time
Concentration gradients across the aquifer
Plume Stability estimating how long contaminants will exceed regulatory thresholds.
Sensitivity Analyses identifies high-impact areas for targeted data collection.
Evaluate the effectiveness of potential remediation strategies.
Accurate modeling requires thorough site characterization and calibration with field data.
Aries hydrogeologists understand how to achieve the right results, the first time.
