The use of supply wells will be necessary for various phases of drilling, completion, stimulation, and circulation testing at the Milford FORGE deep drill site. This is a shapefile containing locations of new supply wells.

New Supply Wells Shapefile.zip

Groundwater geochemistry data was collected from ~20 wells across the region northeast of Milford. The major ions are Na and Cl, the principal sources of TDS.  This model shows a plume of high TDS thermal water emanating from the north end of the Opal Mound Fault and Roosevelt Hot Springs. TDS concentrations decrease to the west of the FORGE site, The high TDS concentrations also indicate that the groundwater beneath the Milford site is not potable.

This excel spreadsheet contains compiled water levels, and groundwater geochemistry for the FORGE study area. It also has a table with data from the Aquifer test hand drawdown, flow rate, and total volume pumped measurements, as well as aquifer test transducer drawdown data.

This scenario assumes homogenous aquifer conditions with transmissivity and vertical thickness equal to that of the aquifer test well. The model comprises a single supply well pumping at 200 gpm for 14 days. The contour lines in this shapefile represent the potential drawdown in feet. The maximum drawdown would be 138 feet.

Potential Drawdown Scenario B Shapefile.zip

This modelled scenario comprises two new supply wells, each pumping at 100 gpm. The maximum drawdown in is 87 feet at each well. Each contour line represents the amount of drawdown in feet, of the water table after 14 days of pumping. Modelling was done with AQTESOLVE software, adn used to calculate transmissivity. The model assumes homogenous aquifer conditions with transmissivity and vertical thickness equal to that of the aquifer test.
