Simulations of hypothetical CO2 leakage and hydrological plume management in an underground source of drinking water at a proposed CO2 storage facility, Kemper County, Mississippi, USA

November 21, 2024

This data release serves as a model archive associated with an upcoming journal article. It contains all the input and output files from, as well as explanatory information about, numerical simulations that were conducted as part of a study of a site in Kemper County, Mississippi where deep geologic injection of CO2 has been proposed. The simulations represent groundwater flow within a portion of the deepest potential underground source of drinking water (USDW) at the site; the Eutaw aquifer. Simulations tested various hypothetical leakage rates from one of the two proposed CO2 injection wells, and analyzed detection of the dissolved CO2 plume at the other wells at the site. Simulations also tested the effect of hydrological plume management by water extraction from one of the wells.
