Methodology for Modeling 2-D Groundwater Motion in a Geographic Information System (GIS)

摘要

From the mid-1950’s through the 1980’s, theU.S. Department of Energy’s Savannah RiverSite (SRS) produced nuclear materials for theweapons stockpile, for medical and industrialapplications, and for space exploration. A legacyof this production is groundwater contaminationlocated near previous production sites. Thiscontamination is comprised mainly of heavymetals, organic degreasers, and radionuclidessuch as tritium. To monitor this contamination, anetwork of more than 1000 groundwater wellshas been established across SRS.
