A stochastic solute transport model is applied to a groundwater contamination case. The contamination is caused by leachate from an unprotected landfill situated in a highly-permeable unconfined aquifer.
The stochastic model combines the geostatistical techniques of semivariogram analysis and kriging with a numerical solute transport model. A Monte Carlo approach that utilizes the turning bands technique to genereate transmissivity fields is used. Here some preliminary results of the unconditional stochastic simulations are presented.
The contaminant plume is characterized by expected concentrations of chloride and standard deviations.
