The formation and temporal evolution of perched water bodies in the Yucca Mountain (YM) site is the focus of this article. Following the approach proposed by Bagtzoglou (2003), recharge rates that would be required to form and sustain perched water bodies with characteristics similar to the known occurrences at YM are estimated through a series of detailed flow simulations. The results were tested for plausibility by comparing with hydrological and geochemical data. The proposed approach is applied with reasonable discriminatory success to a specific geologic cross-section at the YM site, and recharge rates of 0.13, 0.51, and 6.2 mm/yr are calculated for a set of three hydraulic property realizations. However, only the highest recharge rate (6.2 mm/yr) satisfies both hydrological and geochemical constraints. This is in excellent agreement with current estimates by the US Department of Energy. |
