A field experiment shows that rapid downward migration of solutes and microorganisms can occur in a fractured till. A solute tracer, chloride, and a bacteriophage tracer, PRD-1, were added to groundwater and allowed to infiltrate downwards over a 4 × 4 m area. Chloride was detected in horizontal filters at 2.0 m depth within 3-40 days of the start of the tracer test, and PRD-1 was detected in the same filters within 0.27 - 27 days. At 2.8 m depth chloride appeared in all the filters, but PRD-1 appeared in only about one-third of the filters. At 4.0 m depth chloride appeared in about one-third of the filters and trace amounts of PRD-1 were detected in only 2 of the 36 filters. Transport rates and peak tracer concentrations decreased with depth, but at each depth there was a high degree of variability. The transport data is generally consistent with expectations based on hydraulic conductivity measurements and on the observed density of fractures and biopores, both of which decrease with depth. Transport of chloride was apparently retarded by diffusion into the fine-grained matrix between fractures, but the rapid transport of PRD-1, with little dispersion, indicates that it was transported mainly through the fractures.

Abstract A two-dimensional Galerkin finite element model for flow and contaminant transport in variably saturated porous media is used to analyze the transport of chlorides from a sanitary landfill located in Southern Ontario. A representative cross-section is selected for the analysis. Predicted chloride concentrations are presented for the cross section at various horizon years.

The modern theme of agriculture is not only to increase production but also to minimize undesirable environmental effects. Leaching of surface-applied fertilizer is the major source of groundwater pollution. Nitrogenous fertilizers are the most popular among the Indian farmers, which on leaching reach the groundwater in different forms (NH4-N, NO3-N, etc). NO3-N leaches faster than other types, remains in-reactive in groundwater, moves with the velocity of groundwater and contaminates it. Contamination arises when NO3-N accumulates in groundwater and consumed in high amount by humans and animals, may result in adverse health effects. For the study of contaminant transport phenomenon in porous medium, a general convection dispersion equation is used, in which dispersion coefficient is one of the primary parameters necessary to be determined for a particular soil. Keeping it in view a study was conducted to assess different available techniques to determine the dispersion coefficient with the help of soil columns having silty loam soil as soil medium. The value of the dispersion coefficient obtained for silty loam soil, by this method was equal to 0.00576 m2.
