Woburn Hydrogeology Data USGS Study

Reports

The USGS conducted an extensive study of the Woburn site and built a MODFLOW model of the flow system in the Aberjona aquifer. The following are official USGS reports describing the investigation and the model:

• Area of Influence and Zone of Contribution to Superfund-Site Wells G and H, Woburn, Massachusetts
• Hydrogeology and Simulation of Ground-Water Flow at Superfund-Site Wells G and H, Woburn, Massachusetts

The following maps are also available. These are very large files in TIFF format so the best approach is to right-click and save the files to your computer before opening them for viewing.

• Plate 1. Altitude of water table, 12/4/85
• Plate 2. Potentiometric surface in deep strata, 12/4/85
• Plate 3. Drawdown after 30 days of pump test, 1/3/86
• Plate 4. Drawdown in deep strata after 30 days of pump test, 1/3/86
• Plate 5. Water table after 30 days of pump test, 1/3/86
• Plate 6. Potentiometric surface in deep strata, 1/3/86

Model

The following is the MODFLOW model built by the USGS.  Copy the zip file to a directory and unzip.

• model.zip (native files - MODFLOW 2000)
• model_gms.zip (GMS-compatible version - MODFLOW 2000)
