<br />South Met~ 4~zGdwater Model Development Report <br /> <br />Oct. II, 2001 <br />Page 6 <br /> <br />and well-field production capacity under various water level conditions, (3) Bedrock <br />aquifer system response to various pwnping (and injection) schedules that may be <br />considered as part of prescribed conjunctive management strategies, (4) Time frame for <br />which the aquifers transition from confined to unconfined conditions, (5) Economic life, <br />as characterized by transient production cost characteristics, of Denver Basin aquifers <br />under possible management alternatives, and (6) the model adequately incorporates <br />available hydrogeologic data and historic groundwater use data and information. In <br />addition to these technical requirements, the South Metro groundwater model must be <br />developed with schedule and budget constraints of the overall SMWSS project (e.g., it <br />must be available for model runs in Summer 2001). <br /> <br />') <br /> <br />A secondary objective is to support cost analyses of both well-field development as well <br />as possible system operation scenarios. <br /> <br />To address these objectives, groundwater modeling will involve two primary <br />components: a regional groundwater model and a local (well and well-field) model. This <br />report focuses on the development of the regional model, although some local modeling <br />issues are discussed for completeness. <br /> <br />) <br /> <br />) <br /> <br />Hydrosphere Resource Consultants <br />1002 Walnut Suite 200, Boulder, CO 80302 <br />PO Box 445, Socorro, NM 87801 <br />
