Groundwater Flow Model of the Death Valley Regional Flow System • Regional model developed by USGS was updated in D’Agnese et al., 2002 • Updated model included refined hydrogeologic framework model and revised recharge and discharge estimates • Hydraulic head residuals indicate reasonable agreement in vicinity of Yucca Mountain • Largest difference are in areas of steeper hydraulic gradients or areas with limited observations 00414PR_SZ_NRC_Andrews.ppt 22
Comparison of Inferred and Simulated Groundwater Discharge in Regional Flow Model • Regional discharge estimates compare well to regional model predictions • Comparison of regional recharge and discharge helps constrain the water budget in the Death Valley region 00414PR_SZ_NRC_Andrews.ppt 23
