Field study and reactive simulation of iron migration in groundwater during the riverbank filtration

摘要

Water supply in Voronezh city, Russian Federation with the population more than 1,1 million people are based only on the groundwater of alluvial the Neogene-Quaternary (N-Q). Due to the riverbank filtration (RBF), the contaminated groundwater provinces with iron pollution formed in the alluvial aquifer. The high iron content in groundwater interferes its use for the Voronezh city's water supply. It may even bring about the inevitable water intakes abandonment due to problems with well clogging.
