This web page is a brief nontechnical presentation of the correlation between results from applying MODPATH particle tracking and MT3D-USGS solute transport modeling.  These two computer programs used output from a MODFLOW 6 model of groundwater flow in sloping surficial sand and gravel.  The correlation is shown in Figure 1.
