Assessing data-scarce contaminated groundwater sites surrounding petrochemical industries

Abstract: A common problem when studying groundwater contamination in low-income countries is that data required for a detailed risk assessment are limited. This study presents a method for assessment of the potential impact of groundwater contamination by total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) in a data-scarce region. Groundwater modeling, using the MODFLOW, was used to simulate regional-scale flow pattern. Then, a semi-analytical contamination transport model was calibrated by minimization of the absolute errors between m… Show more

“…Our study, however, provides this room. INSIDE-T shows all the data and processes in a contaminant transport model in the most transparent way (spreadsheets, [68]) to let the manager(s) incorporate their judgements and considerations about the efficiency of remediation scenarios. After all, the transport model and adapted DSS can provide decision-makers with more reliable hydrogeological insights at the screening and preliminary management stage, and thereby enhance the overall sustainability scoring of potential remediation options.…”
