Townley, L.R. (1994), Hydrogeological modelling of the Koongarra site, Proc. Fifth CEC Natural Analogue Working Group meeting and Alligator Rivers Analogue Project (ARAP) final workshop, held at Toledo, Spain, 5-9 October 1992, Commission of the European Communities Report EUR 15176 EN, 57-62.

This paper summarises attempts by a number of researchers to predict rates and directions of groundwater movement near the No.1 Orebody at Koongarra under present-day climatic conditions. Rather than using a single model to explain observations, a hierarchy of different existing models was used. These included two-dimensional models in vertical section, three-dimensional models, one- and two-dimensional aquifer flow models in plan, a fracture flow model and an inverse model. Different models explained or at least illustrated different features of the flow system, but there is still much uncertainly about the source of groundwater and its rate of movement through the orebody and the dispersion fan.
