Grid Project:   Pahute Mesa U-20 WW Uniform Meshes

Grid Team Member: Terry Miller
Grid Versions: 2014 Materials on 2012 Meshes
Data Source: Earthvision HFM_PM_20140305
Delivered To: Dylan Harp
Date Completed: Apr 08 2014
6 Mesh Versions:
3 Resolutions with grid sizes 15K, 125K, 1M elements
one set with all 6 faults, one set with 5 faults (no BU)


Purpose of Project

Update HSU materials and faults on uniform meshes from 2012 modeling. The meshes are built surrounding pumping well U20 WW and is constrained on the top and bottom by the Calico Hills HSU and by the watertable at the top of mesh. The UTM Zone 11 NAD 27 coordinates are: 

                  X              Y
    Minimum     548500        4119800
    Maximum     554000        4125500
    Range         5500           5700
This updates an earlier HFM conceptualized distribution of lava flow aquifers and fault surfaces within the Calico Hills Hydrostratigraphic Unit of the Pahute Mesa Phase I with Pahute Mesa Phase II Hydrostratigraphic Framework Model.

There are 4 well locations used in images and selected views. The primary well location is the U-20 WW pumping well located nearest to the middle of the mesh. Observation wells include ER-10-6 #3, UE-20bh, and U-20bg. The UTM coordinages used for these wells are: 
               X        Y      Bottom Z
    U20WW    550615   4122570    975 
    UE20bh   552402   4122008   1166 
    U20bg    552511   4121136   1331
    ER20-6   551296   4123579   1115

Mesh Files 

These uniform grids are from 2012 and have been modified to fit watertable at top.
The xy spacing is regular, but vertical spacing is stretched to meet watertable.

Source Grids


These grids Start with uniform grids created for 2012 modeling by Dylan Harp.
These grids are created with uniform spacing and are stretched vertically to fit 
the watertable surface. Each grid spacing is halved to create a set of coarse to 
fine grid resolutions.

The attached ArcGIS files are from Joe Fenelon's 2010 mapping of the NTS groundwater systems. 
The great thickness of the Calico Hills, coupled with the uncertainty in properties ought 
to make this a close enough approximation.
