USGS Study¶
US Geological Survey Study¶
The USGS conducted an extensive study of the Woburn site and built a MODFLOW model of the flow system in the Aberjona aquifer.
Reports¶
The following are official USGS reports describing the investigation and the model:
- Area of Influence and Zone of Contribution to Superfund-Site Wells G and H, Woburn, Massachusetts
- Hydrogeology and Simulation of Ground-Water Flow at Superfund-Site Wells G and H, Woburn, Massachusetts
USGS Plates¶
The following maps are also available. These are very large files in TIFF format so the best approach is to right-click and save the files to your computer before opening them for viewing.
- Plate 1. Altitude of water table, 12/4/85
- Plate 2. Potentiometric surface in deep strata, 12/4/85
- Plate 3. Drawdown after 30 days of pump test, 1/3/86
- Plate 4. Drawdown in deep strata after 30 days of pump test, 1/3/86
- Plate 5. Water table after 30 days of pump test, 1/3/86
- Plate 6. Potentiometric surface in deep strata, 1/3/86
Model¶
The following is the MODFLOW model built by the USGS. Copy the zip file to a directory and unzip.
- model.zip (native files - MODFLOW 2000)
- model_gms.zip (GMS-compatible version - MODFLOW 2000)
