Assessing Vertical High-Permeability Barriers for Waste Contamination Control: Advective Flow Reduction and Diffusive Transport Challenges in a Sandbox Model

Abstract

AbstractLandfill leachate is a source of groundwater contamination, particularly for shallow aquifers. Low-permeability vertical cutoff walls are often used to stop groundwater from flowing into contaminated areas. However, their long-term durability and ...Practical ApplicationsThis study investigates the effectiveness of high-permeability vertical barriers as a method for controlling groundwater contamination from landfill leachate using a sandbox model along with mathematical and numerical tools. Unlike ...
