MODEL PRZEPŁYWU I TRANSPORTU JAKO NARZĘDZIE ROZWIĄZYWANIA PROBLEMU ZANIECZYSZCZEŃ WÓD PODZIEMNYCH W REJONIE CELSA HUTA OSTROWIEC

Abstract

A FLOW AND TRANSPORT MODEL AS A TOOL FOR SOLVING THE PROBLEM OF GROUNDWATER POLLUTION IN THE VICINITY OF CELSA HUTA OSTROWIECAbstract. The article presents the environmental problem that occurred in the vicinity of Celsa Huta Ostrowiec, where concentrations of trichloroethene and tetrachloroethene in wells were detected. The three-dimensional numerical groundwater flow and transport models were calibrated against trichloroethene measurements. Model studies were carried out for different scenarios taking into account the type of pollution source (point and spatial distributed) and the nature of the source itself (incidental and continuous in time). The modelling results made it possible to indicate the most likely place and time of contaminant release into the soil and water environment.
