Hydrogeology Modelling

Hydrogeological modelling consists of the use of mathematical models to describe, interpret and predict groundwater flow and the migration of radionuclides in natural and engineered systems, through both porous and fractured media.

We offer

extensive experience gained in carrying out projects world-wide, turning geology into sound hydrogeological models;
a suite of internationally-recognised, verified and validated software tools, which can be developed and tailored to meet a customer's individual needs;
these modelling programs, which include NAMMU, NAPSAC, CONNECTFLOW and AVIZIER, have been developed through major radwaste disposal research programmes.

Hydrogeology modelling helps to provide an understanding of a region's hydrogeology and hydrology, which is essential for the assessment and evaluation of a waste disposal system;

The understanding gained from hydrogeological modelling is often a key component of any safety case presented to regulators.
