The effect of vertical aquifer heterogeneity on the results of the simulation of contaminant migration in lateral groundwater flows

This study provides a solution for groundwater contamination problems. High anthopogenic loading on the water intake area makes it difficult to predict the migration of a contaminant to water supply wells, despite the known source location. Predictions were made using finite-difference grid models. The study provides an evaluation of the effects of the aquifer heterogeneity on the simulation results.
