Determining the Most Efficient and Cost-Effective Pumping Schemes for Treating Contaminated Aquifers

Abstract

This effort developed methodology for determining the most efficient and cost-effective pumping schemes for cleaning up contaminated aquifers. The methodology, formulated by a panel of experts, will enable engineers to systematically determine (1) the optimum number of extraction and injection wells; (2) the optimum location for the wells; and (3) their optimum pumping rates. The optimum pumping schemes developed from the methodology will reduce the time and cost of cleaning up contaminated aquifers. Numerical modeling and optimization/simulation work used site data from AF Plant 4, Carswell AFB, Texas. Groundwater, Aquifer, Pumping, Contamination, Remediation, Optimization.
