Groundwater modeling and contaminant transport

Scenario 1: BTEX migration after 100 days
Scenario 2: BTEX migration after 1000 days
Scenario 3: BTEX transport after 7300 days

MODFLOW Computer Modeling


Figure 1. Particle tracking of contaminants
Figure 2. Transport of Chloride after 1000 days

This is a simple case scenario of groundwater flow and transport from a newly planned landfill. This is ONLY a simple 1 layer model that simulate the movement of Chloride (5000 mg/L) after 1000 days (3 years).

Selinsing Gold Mine


The Selinsing Gold Mine Project is located at Bukit Selinsing near Sungai Koyan, approximately 65 km north of Raub and 30km west of Kuala Lipis on the lineament known as the Raub Bentong Suture. Selinsing is located approximately 2 hours drive from Kuala Lumpur the capital of Malaysia on a sealed highway in Pahang State, which is the largest gold producing state in Malaysia. Some photos captured at the main entrance to the mine while passing thorough on the way to Cameron Highland with my MSc students.

My New Honda Freed


First long distance testing of my Freed. Photo captured in Bentong Mosque


Look how small is the car from the outside....but it has a bigger and comfortable cabin space inside (see photos below)


The inside view of Honda Freed. Very compact MPV with 7 seater and automatic sliding door on both sides. Very economical in fuel consumption. Small and compact car for a small guy with a big heart!
