Abstract
Groundwater is an essential product for arid and semi-arid with dry climate region. The essence of groundwater is portrayed in areas where is low precipitation amount is occurred. Therefore, protecting the recharged aquifer from contamination plays a huge role to provide clean and easy to use pumped water for agricultural, industrial, commercial, and public use. In this paper, a conceptional of different scenarios is used to minimize the cost of extraction and transported plume pollutants from groundwater. The Interactive Groundwater model (IGW) has been implemented in Volusia County, north of Orlando area by utilizing parameters of hydraulic conductivity, storativity (specific yield) and layers depth from the SSURGO soil database. Also, the results of the model were compared with USGS groundwater levels from nearby well. The flow rates are grounded on the hydraulic conductivities (K), which have an initial average value of 11.3 m(3)/day, and it is randomly varied throughout the domain using spectral distribution function, the thickness (b), and the hydraulic gradient (h) comprises the boundary conditions for the modeled area. Three different scenarios have been adopted based on the EPA technical report to seek cost efficient and realistic scenario of removing pollutants. The model has depicted that the best-case scenario to implement is three injection wells and two pumping wells to get the best results needed.
