Modelling Groundwater Flow and Pollution

This document provides an overview of groundwater flow and pollution modeling. It discusses how groundwater is an important water resource that requires management of quantity and quality. As groundwater usage increases, quality is deteriorating in many areas due to various sources of contamination. Models are needed to help decision makers evaluate alternative management strategies and ensure constraints are not violated by providing information on how aquifer systems respond.

Modeling Groundwater Flow and Pollution
Series: Theory and Applications of Transport in Porous Media, Vol. 2

Groundwater constitutes an important component of many water resource systems,


supplying water for domestic use, for industry, and for agriculture. Management of a
groundwater system, an aquifer, or a system of aquifers, means making such decisions as
to the total quantity of water to be withdrawn annually, the location of wells for pumping
and for artificial recharge and their rates, and control conditions at aquifer boundaries.
Not less important are decisions related to groundwater qUality. In fact, the quantity and
quality problems cannot be separated. In many parts of the world, with the increased
withdrawal of ground water, often beyond permissible limits, the quality of groundwater
has been continuously deteriorating, causing much concern to both suppliers and users.
In recent years, in addition to general groundwater quality aspects, public attention has
been focused on groundwater contamination by hazardous industrial wastes, by leachate
from landfills, by oil spills, and by agricultural activities such as the use of fertilizers,
pesticides, and herbicides, and by radioactive waste in repositories located in deep
geological formations, to mention some of the most acute contamination sources. In all

specified constraints. In order to enable the planner, or the decision maker, to compare
alternative modes of action and to ensure that the constraints are not violated, a tool is
