The major, Impact would consequently he ch the food chain along me eonWm[nted path rather than on drinel, water.,,U. dependent cm the river. 2. Because Of mWtOOyeritg and the large differenceas k hydraulic c sedurgivili., water possibly might move heriiontally Instead of just vertically as aumed orb 3 e 5 • • 48 simulated in the model. This might alt decrease me area in which diffac on eontrok me release of radionuclide migration in the unsaturated .nee. 3.
