New Analytical Model Available

June 23, 2025

by Gary Stevens, P.G. Analytical groundwater contaminant models have often been completed using the Domenico solution because of its relatively simple mathematics and easy incorporation into spreadsheets. The Domenico's vertical contaminant source orientation along with other model assumptions limits the practical implementation and requires careful consideration of the results. The horizontal plane solution (HPS) is an alternate analytical model that does not have the limitations of the Domenico solution but…
