Summary
The U.S. EPA's Wellhead Analytic Element Model, WhAEM2000 for Windows, is a
groundwater geohydrology computer program. WhAEM2000 is a public domain,
ground-water flow model designed to facilitate capture zone delineation and
protection area mapping in support of the State's Wellhead Protection Programs
(WHPP) and Source Water Assessment Planning (SWAP) for public ... water supplies in
the United States. WhAEM2000 provides an interactive computer environment for
design of protection areas based on radius methods, well in uniform flow
solutions, and geohydrologic modeling methods. Protection areas are designed
and overlaid upon US Geological Survey Digital Line Graph (DLG) or other
electronic base maps. Base maps for a project can be selected from a graphical
index map for the State. Geohydrologic modeling for steady pumping wells,
including the influence of hydrological boundaries, such as rivers, recharge,
and no-flow contacts, is accomplished using the analytic element method.
