Concentration of Contaminants in Groundwater
Main Article Content
Abstract
Groundwater pollutes by leachate is the most harming ecological effect over the whole existence of a hazardous waste landfill (HWL). To date, the percolation of bacteria and viruses through landfill leachate into the groundwater table poses a potential risk and potential hazards towards the public health and the ecosystem, remains an aesthetic concern. In this paper, we developed a mathematical model to study the mean concentration of contaminants (bacteria and viruses) by leachate, employing generalized-dispersion technique. Solute transport in porous media is discussed by means of advection - dispersion equation. The dispersion and mean concentration are obtained by Generalized-Dispersion method . Results are obtained analytically and the numerical values are computed graphically.
