Groundwater Sensitivity Toolkit
API and the California MTBE Research Partnership have produced a software utility to help site managers, water purveyors, and regulators evaluate the sensitivity of a groundwater resource to a potential release of compounds of concern (e.g., an MTBE-oxygenated fuel) at a particular site.
Amigo Software for Evaluating the Potential for Groundwater Impairment
API-AMIGO (v. 1.0 Beta, available as a public beta release.) simulates the chloride concentration in a water table (unconfined) aquifer after an accidental surface release of chloride (e.g. produced water or brine) or after the placement of chloride-rich material at the ground surface, such as in a landfarm or biopile. AMIGO uses the output from library of HYDRUS-1D simulations in a simple ground water mixing model to generate a graph of chloride concentration over time in an imaginary monitoring well located at the edge of the spill, lease or landfarm.
