A numerical model was used, in combination with published moisture retention and relative permeability parameters for a variety of sediment types, to demonstrate that such horizontal flow can be established within different mixtures of sediments and over substantially greater distances (e.g., 10 meters) for select classes of heterogeneity involving lens or layers of finer grained sediments bounded by coarser grained sediments. cache/vx021c20x09.txt txt/vx021c20x09.txt
