In low-permeability rocks, ambient groundwater flow in open boreholes may go undetected using conventional borehole-flowmeter tools and alternative approaches may be needed to identify flow. Understanding ambient flow in open boreholes is important for tracking of cross contamination in groundwater. Chlorinated volatile organic compound (CVOC) concentrations from three open boreholes set...

The Aqueous Flow Concentration Estimator (AFCE): Software for Estimation of Ambient Groundwater Flow in Bedrock Open Boreholes

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) developed a tool that uses a chemical budget approach to help determine which fractures in a fracture zone may be dominating the water chemistry of open boreholes in bedrock aquifers. The tool uses a Monte Carlo approach and measured concentrations of anthropogenic contaminants to simulate many different scenarios and predict the most likely source direction of...
