Abstract
Within the framework of the task of assessing the landfill impact on groundwater pollution using numerical modelling of groundwater flow and transport, the forecast of groundwater pollution by chloride ion was performed in the area adjacent to the landfill in Dubna after its reclamation. Different variants of modelling hydrogeological setting and contaminant transport simulations and their influence on the forecast results were considered. Visual Modflow software package was used for modelling, which included the module for groundwater flow simulation MODFLOW 2000 and MT3DMS for pollutant transport calculation. To realize the boundary conditions on the upper model’s boundary under the landfill body, the results were used obtained earlier in the analysis of water and mass balance in the landfill. The leakage rate and chloride ion concentration in the leachate entering the groundwater during the landfill operation and after its reclamation were set.
