Aquifer Remediation Strategies By Finite Element Coupled Flow and Contaminat Transport Simulation

Abstract

Groundwater is one of the important sources of drinking water for many countries in the world. Long-term withdrawals of groundwater resources has created a need to predict its effect on future water quality and sustained availability. The quality of ground water is degraded when water carries contaminants downward through the soil to the groundwater without being adequately filtered or naturally treated. In recent years, growing number of incidents of the groundwater pollution caused by the waste disposal activities have been reported.
