Seepage Through Partially Saturated Shale Wastes

G. L. Bloomsburg / R. D. Wells

This report describes work which was done to apply an existing finite element computer program UNSAT2 to the unsteady, unsaturated flow of water through waste shale piles. The work was done in three phases: Verification of program through comparison with existing data; Verification of program through simulation of flow from field seepage ponds at Rifle, CO.; and application of program to flow due to natural rainfall in a section through the Piceance Basin in Colorado, and a typical waste shale pile.
