| Summary: | carbonate rocks in an area where the Eleana Formation, a divided into a two layers, which consist of Cenozoic volcanic finite-difference model of the groundwater flow system of the gradient on the water-table surface could be simulated by ground-water system at the site. One of the important ground-water table. The ground-water system in the model was hydrologic characteristics is a steep gradient on the ground- in the volcanic rocks. investigates the cause of the steep gradient, based on the large difference in hydraulic heads between the volcanic manual trial-and-error calibration technique to model the Mountain area. A quasi-three dimensional, steady-state, of the repository site. The regions of different hydraulic Paleozoic clastic aquitard, is absent. The model requires a possible influence by Paleozoic rocks under the Yucca rocks and Paleozoic carbonate rocks. The carbonate rocks rocks and the carbonates to create the steep gradient north spatial variations of the horizontal hydraulic conductivity The proposed high-level radioactive waste repository site at vertical flow from the volcanic rocks to the underlying vertical hydrologic connection in a particular region and a water table north of the repository site. This study were defined to be a confined aquifer. The model simulates Yucca Mountain Site and vicinity, was developed using a Yucca Mountain, Nevada, has created a need to understand the, |
