Analysis of Capture Zones of the Buckman Wellfield and a Proposed Horizontal Collector Well North of the Otowi Bridge

Summary

Analyzes capture zones, water sources, travel times, and dilution factors for the Buckman wellfield and a proposed horizontal collector well near the Rio Grande. Using regional groundwater-flow and transport modeling, the report evaluates whether water originating beneath Los Alamos could reach these supply systems and how mixing and residence times would affect water-quality concerns.
