Predicting the movement of contaminants in groundwater beneath the Hanford Site is important for both understanding the impacts of these contaminants and for planning effective cleanup activities. These predictions are based on knowledge of the distribution of hydraulic properties within the aquifers underlying the Hanford Site. The Characterization of Systems (CoS) Task, under the Groundwater/Vadose Integration Project, is responsible for establishing a consistent set of data, parameters, and conceptual models to support estimates contaminant migration and impact.
