Effect of Hydraulic Conductivity Contrast on Non-Pumped Wells in Backfilled Trenches for Aquifer Remediation
2016
Hudak, Paul F.
A groundwater flow and mass transport model simulated the remediation capability of non-pumped wells with filter media placed in backfilled trenches in homogeneous and heterogeneous aquifers. For each of five homogeneous and heterogeneous aquifer settings, the model identified a base configuration of wells for a backfill hydraulic conductivity equal to the mean of the aquifer (1.5 m/d). Base configurations comprised the least number of wells necessary to contain and remove a contaminant plume. For each setting, the model also simulated base configurations with backfill hydraulic conductivity one and two orders of magnitude lower and one and two orders of magnitude higher than the mean of the aquifer. In general, backfill with a hydraulic conductivity equal to the mean of the aquifer, or slightly higher, outperformed other scenarios.
