Here is how you can know the natural degradation capacity of polluted groundwater. Here are mathematical models, which can help one know about it. Thanks to Dutch researcher Phil Ham who has developed them.
With its development, one can now easily predict whether a polluted area will expand or become smaller! That sounds pretty interesting. Expensive remediation methods can be avoided when a polluted area be comes smaller.
These mathematical models provide expressions that can determine the size of a plume and also assess the contaminated sites’ natural degradation capacity. It also calculates the reactive transport of dissolved matter in water through porous soil along with the characteristics of the mixing processes. This scientifically-supported method got available perhaps for the first time.
