GroundwaterFX is a decision support system intended to provide decision makers and analysts a means of evaluating environmental information relative to the nature and extent of groundwater contamination. It also supports monitor well network design and performance evaluations of remedial actions in groundwater. Key attributes of the tool include the ability to:
- quantify uncertainties in the nature and extent of groundwater contamination;
- quantify uncertainties relative to remedial actions (e.g., pump and treat performance);
- provide objective recommendations on the number and location of monitor wells to delineate a plume;
- provide visual feedback to a user on the nature of the contamination (e.g., concentration distribution, probability distribution of exceeding a drinking water standard); and
- provide statistical information about the plume (e.g., average volume of contamination, standard deviation, etc.).
