Modeling of contaminants transport in a marshland system

摘要

As the practice of using natural marshland systems, in remote locations, for the treatment of contaminated water increases in popularity, the need to fully understand the pollution attenuation processes and migration potential of these pollutants is becoming primordial. However, the complex interaction between soil, plants and biological activity of such environment associated with an often ill defined hydrogeology severely challenges engineers and scientists in adequately forecasting the attenuation potential of natural marshlands.
