Groundwater Plume from an Infiltration Basin
Publication: World Environmental and Water Resource Congress 2006: Examining the Confluence of Environmental and Water Concerns
Abstract
We model and measure the groundwater plume from an infiltration basin in the Plymouth-Carver Aquifer near State Route 25 in southeastern Massachusetts. The advective transport model superimposes axisymmetric basin hydraulics and two dimensional ambient flow. The basin component incorporates a surface source of finite radius into a Hankel transform model for unconfined aquifers, while the ambient component varies linearly in the horizontal and vertical directions. Contaminant streamlines describe the resulting groundwater plume. Deicing agent constituent data confirm the plume boundaries, and calibrate plausible source concentrations and spread rates.
