Effect of pumping on the contaminant transport model

This simulation was made on a landfill that constantly discharge 50mg/L of Pb. The landfill was modeled using visual Modflow, considering a linear sorption, with an initial Pb as 100mg/L, the model shows the effect of pumping on the Pb transport. The pumping rate was 1000m3/day.

a) after 10 days of pumpingb) after 100 days of pumping

c) after 300 days of pumping

3-D Contaminant Transport Modeling using Visual MODFLOW Pro

Groundwater flow and contaminant transport modeling was performed using Visual MODFLOW Pro on a Landfill in Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia). The study has successfully delineate the contaminant migration pathway and 3-D models were developed to visualize these contaminant pathways.
(i) 2-D Model of contaminant transport(ii) 3-D model of contaminant transport after 2050 days (about 5.7 years)

(iii) 3-D model of contaminant transport after 7200 days (20 years)

Congratulation to Dr Fares As Shaebi - my PhD student

Congratulation to Dr Fares As Shaebi who has been awarded a doctor of philosophy (PhD) in Environmental Geology during a Convocation Ceremony in UKM very recently. Dr Fares is my PhD student and he has successfully conducted a research with a topic "The Potential Use of Natural Geologic Materials for Remediation of Contaminated Sites". He also has published his results in Journals and local/international conferences. I wish him all the best .

Water Level Sensor for Putrajaya Wetland Monitoring Work

Perbadanan Putrajaya has successfully installed water level sensors at eleven (11) monitoring stations around Putrajaya Lake and Wetlands. The instrument can automatically measure water level every 10-minutes and the data can be retrieved from the data logger using a portable PC. Photos show the water level sensor instrument and a field demostration of using this equipment by Global Water to all people involved with the monitoring project namely Alam Bersih Sdn. Bhd, Engineers from Perbadanan Putrajaya and the consultants.
