Groundwater Pollution Modeling

Introduction

A numerical model has been developed to model the flow conditions and transport of pollutant, emanating from various sources, within the groundwater system. The model utilizes the FDM for solving the coupled set of flow and transport equations with appropriate initial and boundary conditions. The model can also simulate leachate migration and effluent movement within the sub surface and groundwater zones. The model can address a number of groundwater problems including groundwater pollution containment, short and long-term groundwater resources availability of desired quality and quantity, and optimal estimation of number of wells and its location for groundwater exploitation.

Special Features:

Numerical Model for solving various kinds of groundwater pollution problems , Short and long term analysis for groundwater resources availability. Optional estimation of number of wells and its location for groundwater exploitation.

Prospective Users:
