This paper describes a screening model for evaluating the migration of organic and inorganic contaminants leached from land-disposed wastes. The model is composed of a waste-zone release submodel, an unsaturated-zone transport submodel and a saturated-zone transport submodel. The waste-zone submodel assumes steady one-dimensional vertical flow through a uniform waste zone treated as a "stirred tank reactor". Soluble inorganic contaminants are assumed to exhibit a constant concentration in the leachate until mass depletion occurs, while organic contaminants are assumed to exhibit leachate concentrations that are proportional to the mass fraction in the oily waste phase. Vertical, one-dimensional, unit-gradient flow is assumed in the unsaturated zone at a constant water content controlled by the net infiltration rate and the unsaturated soil permeability function. Transport occurs by convection and scale-dependent dispersion with linear adsorption and decay. In the saturated zone, flow is assumed to be planar, with three-dimensional convective-dispersive transport, adsorption and decay, with a rectangular horizontal source at the water table. The waste-zone submodel defines the boundary conditions for the unsaturated-zone submodel, which, in turn, defines the boundary conditions for the saturated-zone submodel. Because of the semi-analytical nature of the model, it can be executed very quickly, thus enabling rapid screening analyses and implementation in Monte Carlo analyses, which require a large number of model executions.

An Assessment of the Spatial Distribution of Polychlorinated Biphenyl Contamination in Turkey
Gedik, Kadir; İmamoğlu, İpek (Wiley, 2010-02-01)
This study summarizes the relevant information regarding the spatial distribution of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in various environmental (e.g., soil, sediment, air, water) and biological (e.g., fish, mussel, adipose tissue, milk) media in Turkey. The information sources, used for this purpose, in addition to the scientific literature, were; official import records, governmental reports on monitoring of organochlorines, and reports prepared by international organizations. PCBs were never produced in Tu...
Modeling biogeochemical dynamics in porous media: Practical considerations of pore scale variability, reaction networks, and microbial population dynamics in a sandy aquifer
King, E. L.; Tuncay, Kağan; Ortoleva, P.; Meile, C. (Elsevier BV, 2010-03-01)
Prediction of the fate and environmental impacts of groundwater contaminants requires the identification of relevant biogeochemical processes and necessitates the macroscopic representation of microbial activity occurring at the microscale. Using a well-studied sandy aquifer environment, we evaluate the importance of pore distribution on organic matter respiration in a porous medium environment by performing spatially explicit simulations of microbial metabolism at the sub-millimeter scale. Model results us...
A COMPARATIVE-EVALUATION OF DIFFERENT APPROACHES FOR ASSESSING SOIL ACIDIFICATION IMPACTS
SOYUPAK, S; KILIC, B; MUKHALLALATI, L; YURTERI, C (Informa UK Limited, 1993-01-01)
Long-term impacts of acidic depositions on soils can be predicted with coupled applications of acid deposition models and approaches to assess soil acidification. Soil acidification assessment can be achieved by using the following approaches: (i) Mechanistic modelling (ii) Experimental acid buffering capacity (ABC) method (iii) Qualitative evaluations The mechanistic modelling approach adopted in this study utilises predicted acid deposition rates and soil properties as well as dominant soil mechanisms inc...
A multi-technique approach to determine temporal and spatial variability of groundwater-stream water exchange
Koruk, Kasimcan; Yılmaz, Koray Kamil; Akyürek, Sevda Zuhal; Binley, Andrew (Wiley, 2020-04-03)
Characterizing the spatio-temporal distribution of groundwater-surface water (GW-SW) exchange fluxes is of paramount importance in understanding catchment behavior. A wide range of field-based techniques are available for such characterization. The objective of this study is to quantify the spatio-temporal distribution of the exchange fluxes along the cakit stream (Nigde, Turkey) through coupling a set of geophysical techniques and in-stream measurements in a hierarchical manner. First, geological and water...
Alternative solutions for long missing streamflow data for sustainable water resources management
Mesta, Buket; Akgün, Ömer Burak; Kentel Erdoğan, Elçin (Informa UK Limited, 2020-08-01)
Sustainable water resources management requires long time series of streamflow data. In this study, a Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy rule-based (FRB) model is developed to reconstruct long periods of missing daily streamflow data which is a common problem in developing countries. The FRB model uses observations of neighbouring stream gauges, and thus is advantageous regarding data and time requirement compared to physical models. With the proper set of inputs, the FRB model provides better estimates than the hydrologi...
