Contaminant Transport Modelling

Groundwater Model Predictive Uncertainty Assessment for Nitrate Contaminant Transport Risk

This project was conducted in collaboration with GNS Science in New Zealand.  Nitrite contamination in groundwater from intensive agriculture can degrade groundwater quality making it unusable as a drinking water source. This project involved a large-scale model predictive uncertainty quantification with nonlinear, calibration-constrained, uncertainty analysis, on a coupled MODFLOW/MODPATH/MT3DMS numerical model that simulated groundwater flow, […]
