Groundwater in the Newark basin aquifer flows primarily through
discrete water-bearing zones parallel to the strike and dip of
bedding, whereas flow perpendicular to the strike is restricted,
thereby imparting anisotropy to the groundwater flow field. The
finite-element model SUTRA was used to represent bedrock structure
in the aquifer by spatially varying the orientation of the
hydraulic conductivity tensor to reflect variations in the strike
and dip of the bedding. Directions of maximum and medium hydraulic
conductivity were oriented parallel to the bedding, and the
direction of minimum hydraulic conductivity was oriented
perpendicular to the bedding. Groundwater flow models were prepared
to simulate local flow in the vicinity of the Spring Valley well
field and regional flow through the Newark basin aquifer.
