Summary
A groundwater-flow model was used to simulate zones of contribution to wells south of Naval Weapons Industrial Reserve Plant, Bethpage, New York. The model results will be used to demonstrate how the size and shape of zones of contribution may vary.

The study evaluated advective groundwater-flow patterns through groundwater-flow simulation and particle-tracking analysis in forward and backward modes. The groundwater-flow simulation and particle-tracking analysis had the following general objectives: (1)delineate zones of contribution (ZOCs) based on present conditions through backtracking of particles that are initiated at wells, and (2) by use of hypothetical simulations, determine hydrogeologic and pumping -rate controls on the size and shape of ZOCs.The model input and output files included in this data release are documented in the U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Report 2017-5161 (https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20175161)
