2-D Models

Two-dimensional groundwater models are typically utilized where the hydrogeological setting is fairly simple.  Examples include sites with uniform soil cover overlying low permeability bedrock.

Analytical Groundwater Models

In this example, effects on the water table and on an adjacent stream resulting from a proposed quarry dewatering  have been simulated.  Note the use of "particle tracking" to illustrate the theoretical path of groundwater as it is drawin into the quarry
