QUESTION 6 er day. of。 5 and the hydraulic conductivity of 5 meters es. This a fer has the total poros Equi-potential groundwater table elevations are given as contour Flow direction 62 m 64 m 66 m 68 m 0 Spill site 500 m Assuming there is no dispersion, estimate an average travel time as years when the contaminant arrives at the house located at 500 m downstream from the contaminated spill site
A mixture of benzene, Napthalene, trichloroethylene and chlorobenzene were found in a groundwater plume. Consider the partitioning of these four compounds in a contaminated soil. Assume that the hydrocarbon mixture has contaminated the soil at an average of 0.09 liters of the mixture per cubic meter of soil. Considering the soil above and below the water table (ie. each cubic meter is 60% saturated with water by volume). The soil contains 0.75% organic carbon and has a porosity of 30%...
A containment pond has a base thickness of 1.2 m. The leachate held by the base has a sulfate concentration of 1800 mg/L. The facility is known to leak its offensive fluids into that underlying aquifer. which has a hydraulic conductivity of 10 m/d and effective porosity of 0.35. Two plezometers 500 m apart installed in upstream of the facility have average seasonal head readings of 20 m and 22 m. There is an observation well installed just downstream of...
