Groundwater Transport Processes
Groundwater Transport Modeling
All groundwater transport models are based on the advectivedispersive-reactive equations.

HC conc. at
any point

Transport at time t
advection only
net rate of
advective
transport to
that point
+

transport to
that point
Transport at time t

-
net rate of

Fate and Transport Modeling Options
GOAL: Predict steady-state NAF between source and receptor.
Types of
Models:
• 1-D vs. 2-D vs. 3-D Advection
• 1-D vs. 2-D vs. 3-D Dispersion
• Deterministic vs. Statistical
• Numerical vs. Analytical
• Transient vs. Steady State
• Constant Source vs. Changing Source
