Modelling radionuclide transport in large fractured-media systems: the example of Forsmark, Sweden

Abstract Consideration of regional groundwater flow in aquifer systems allows for solving groundwater issues on a larger scale than single aquifers and contributes to all practical aspects of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals for water. The approach has been extended to a wide range of hydrogeological environments. However, it suffers from poorly constrained terminology and conceptualisation, compounded by the difficulties of interpreting complex groundwater flow systems. This essay aims to initiate a discussion on improving the application of regional groundwater flow approaches.

Based on the conditions of hydrogeology, groundwater exploitation and data of the research area, the hydrogeological concept model was conceptualized as a 2-D heterogeneous, isotropic and unstable groundwater flow system. A groundwater flow model was built by using the FEFLOW software (Finite Element Subsurface Flow and Transport Simulation System). This model can forecast the groundwater dynamic variation under the different exploitation plans and provide a scientific foundation for the groundwater development, utilization and optimum allocation.
