Particle-Tracking Analysis of Contributing Areas of Public-Supply Wells in Simpleand Complex Flow Systems, Cape Cod, Massachusetts

摘要

This report presents the results of a study to demonstrate the use of and toassess the effectiveness and limitations of numerical-flow modeling coupled with particle tracking for delineation of contributing areas for existing and hypothetical supply wells pumping from stratified-drift aquifers of Cape Cod, Mass. Two different ground-water-flow systems of Cape Cod were chosen for investigation. These flow systems represent the range of hydrogeologic complexity
