Modeling Services

Experts at Porewater Solutions have been developing and applying groundwater and soil vapor flow and transport models for more than 35 years. We are well very familiar with commercial modeling and visualization tools including MODFLOW, MT3DMS, FEFLOW, HYDRUS, EVS, and many others. We have also developed our own proprietary modeling tools, some of which we have sold commercially or made available in the public domain.

Our philosophy is simple – models are useful tools for informing, designing, and predicting, when they are constructed based on a sound conceptual model. We utilize custom software to help us quickly and effectively build and employ models for a wide range of applications.

Porewater Solutions has developed models for:

• Evaluating PFAS remediation strategies
• Validating a conceptual site model
• Predicting future chemical extent considering source depletion, back-diffusion, and plume attenuation processes
• Designing and optimizing remedies for contaminated sites
• Supporting mine permit applications and closure plans
• Predicting climate change effects on water resources
• Supporting regulatory negotiations
• Litigation
