Units in MT3D – see p. 6-8 in the manual
Recommended: use ppm= mg/l gm/m3
That is, use meters; mass is reported in grams.
Mass = c Q t
Concentration units do not have to be consistent with the unitsused for other parameters. It is permissible, for example,to use “ft” for the system parameters and mg/l for concentration.
However, in that case the units calculated in the mass balancewill have inconsistent units and the mass balance numbers willneed to be manually corrected.

Cells in first row are in zone 10in the diffusion properties menu
This is necessary to prevent loss ofmass through the boundary by diffusion.

Mass Balance states that:Mass IN = Mass OUTwhere changes in mass storageare considered either as contributionsto mass IN or to mass OUT.
Water Flow:IN= through upper boundary; injection wellOUT= pumping well; lower boundary
Mass Flux:IN= through injection well; changes in storageOUT= pumping well; lower boundary; changes in storage

IN - OUT = S where S = 0 at steady state conditions

Mass Storage: Water
Consider a cell in the model
IN - OUT = S where change in storage isS = S(t2) – S(t1)
If IN > OUT, the water level rises andthere is an increase in mass of water in the cell.IN = OUT + S, where S is positive.Note that S is on the OUT side of the equation.
If OUT > ININ – S = OUT, where S is negativeS is on the IN side of the equation.

Mass Storage: Solute
IN - OUT = S where change in storage isS = S(t2) – S(t1)
If IN > OUT, concentration in cell increases andthere is an increase in solute mass in the cell.IN = OUT + S, where S is positive.Note that S is on the OUT side of the equation.There is an apparent “sink” inside the cell.
If OUT > IN, the concentration in cell decreases andthere is a decrease in solute mass in the cell.IN – S = OUT, where S is negative and S is on the IN side of the equation. There is anapparent “source” inside the cell.
