Abstract
The movement of fluids through regional fractured rock systems is of practical interest to the hydrologist. Whether it be toward anticipating the migration of contaminants or planning for the placement of water supply wells, insights into the regional hydrology of fractured rock aquifers plays a role. Groundwater flow modellers often assume that due to the large number of fractures present in the regional domain, the discreteness of the flow system is averaged out and that an equivalent single continuum model representation is justified. Some initial research results, presented in this paper, indicate that such an assumption may not be appropriate in many fractured rock systems.
