“…The carbonate formations within our AOI (see Section 6) generally present a welldeveloped orthogonal joint system, which, combined with bedding-plane faulting and tectonic deformation, create the potential for secondary porosity and preferential groundwater flow (Yager, Voss, and Southworth 2009). The majority of the karst features encountered within the Valley and Ridge physiographic province of Virginia, where our AOI resides, are of the solution sinkhole variety.…”

“…Groundwater flow may not be perpendicular to lines of equipotential, particularly in karstic areas where conduit systems may act. The directions of maximum and medium K conform to the strike and dip of bedding, respectively, while the minimum K direction is perpendicular to bedding 3 . To estimate aquifer hydraulic parameters, different pumping test methods are used; however, long-duration, step pumping, and recovery tests can be used.…”
