Forward Modeling of Well Pumpage from the Powder Mountain Carbonate Aquifer, Northern Utah (OFR-670)

By: Paul Inkenbrandt

The Utah Geological Survey conducted two-dimensional modeling to determine the cone of influence of a proposed water supply well near Powder Mountain Ski Resort. The model was used to determine how much groundwater was taken from either side of the Wasatch-Cache county line. The model accounted for leaky confining layers and influence from other wells and predicted the relative amount of groundwater taken from each county.
