Application of an iterative source localization strategy at a chlorinated solvent site

This study presents an inverse modeling strategy for organic contaminant source localization. The approach infers the hydraulic conductivity field, the dispersivity, and the source zone location. Beginning with initial observed data of contaminant concentration and hydraulic head, the method follows...

description This study presents an inverse modeling strategy for organic contaminant source localization. The approach infers the hydraulic conductivity field, the dispersivity, and the source zone location.

Non-linear optimization using the Gauss-Levenberg-Marquardt Algorithm (PEST++) is tested at a real contaminated site.
