Modeling the flow and leachate transport in the vadose and saturated zones of a municipal landfillModeling the flow and leachate transport in the vadose and saturated zones of a municipal landfill Peer-Reviewed Journal Publication Δημοσίευση σε Περιοδικό με Κριτές 2015-10-212006enThe purpose of the present study was to evaluate the groundwater contamination due to the construction and operation of the municipal landfill of Amari, Rethymno, Crete. The groundwater flow and leachate transport in the vadose and saturated zones were studied and simulated, using three different models: the one-dimensional groundwater flow and contaminant transport model for the vadose zone Pesticide Root Zone Model (PRZM-3), the Geographical Information System (GIS) Argus ONE and the three-dimensional groundwater flow and contaminant transport model Princeton Transport Code (PTC). The simulation time was 30 and 20 years, and the results obtained, according to the models and the existing hydrogeological conditions, were very encouraging and reassuring about the groundwater quality of the broad region.Δημοσίευση σε επιστημονικό περιοδικό http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Environmental Modeling and Assessment11181-87 Aivalioti Maria Αϊβαλιωτη Μαρια Karatzas Giorgos Καρατζας Γιωργος SpringerOpen grounwater flow mass transport groundwater modeling
