Description

A conceptual model of the MIU site in central Japan, was developed to predict the groundwater system response to pumping. The study area consisted of a fairly large three-dimensional domain, having the size 4.24 x 6 x 3 km{sup 3} with three different geological units, upper and lower fractured zones and a single fault unit. The resulting computational model comprised of 702,204 finite difference cells with variable grid spacing. Both steady-state and transient simulations were completed to evaluate the influence of two different surface boundary conditions: fixed head and no flow. Steady state results were used for particle tracking and ... continued below

Description

A conceptual model of the MIU site in central Japan, was developed to predict the groundwater system response to pumping. The study area consisted of a fairly large three-dimensional domain, having the size 4.24 x 6 x 3 km{sup 3} with three different geological units, upper and lower fractured zones and a single fault unit. The resulting computational model comprised of 702,204 finite difference cells with variable grid spacing. Both steady-state and transient simulations were completed to evaluate the influence of two different surface boundary conditions: fixed head and no flow. Steady state results were used for particle tracking and also serving as the initial conditions (i.e., starting heads) for the transient simulations. Results of the steady state simulations indicate the significance of the choice of surface (i.e., upper) boundary conditions and its effect on the groundwater flow patterns along the base of the upper fractured zone. Steady state particle tracking results illustrate that all particles exit the top of the model in areas where groundwater discharges to the Hiyoshi and Toki rivers. Particle travel times range from 3.6 x 10{sup 7} sec (i.e., {approx}1.1 years) to 4.4 x 10{sup 10} sec (i.e., {approx}1394 years). For the transient simulations, two pumping zones one above and another one below the fault are considered. For both cases, the pumping period extends for 14 days followed by an additional 36 days of recovery. For the pumping rates used, the maximum drawdown is quite small (ranging from a few centimeters to a few meters) and thus, pumping does not severely impact the groundwater flow system. The range of drawdown values produced by pumping below the fault are generally much less sensitive to the choice of the boundary condition than are the drawdowns resulted from the pumping zone above the fault.
