Ground-Water Flow and Numerical Simulation of Recharge from Streamflow Infiltration near Pine Nut Creek, Douglas County, Nevada

摘要

This report describes the simulation of groundwater flow near the infiltration site at Pine Nut Creek. Available data on streamflow, water levels, and aquifer properties near the alluvial fan of Pine Nut Creek were compiled and used to construct a numerical model of the ground-water flow system. The model was used to simulate recharge from a hypothetical infiltration basin near the infiltration site at Pine Nut Creek, and subsequent pumping from hypothetical wells near the infiltration basin at two different rates.
