What is Water Modeling? Why Does ATSDR Need It?

ASTDR needs certain information about the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in Camp Lejeune’s groundwater and drinking water. Little data exists about how chemicals have affected the base’s water in the past. Water modeling is a scientific method that will help ATSDR estimate water-system conditions prior to March 1987. Water modeling will help identify where and when certain areas at Camp Lejeune received VOC-contaminated drinking water. ATSDR will use the water modeling results to determine which people were exposed to contaminated drinking water.
