East Bay Township Plume Clean-up Project - HONORS
Advanced - Multi-week integrated groundwater project. Flow modeling; contaminant remediation. Background: A subsurface contaminant plume has been identified in East Bay Township, a residential area adjacent to Traverse City, Michigan and home to the Cherry Capital Airport. Prompted by complaints of odors and foaming water in domestic water well supplies in the residential area along Avenue E near East Grand Traverse Bay, the Department of Public Health detected organic substances in the groundwater – including benzene, toluene, xylene, and other compounds characteristic of solvents, cleaning agents, and fuel substances. These chemicals are known to be harmful if ingested by humans.

Groundwater Remediation - Videos Exercise
Beginner - Watch videos and respond. Background: The past decades of industrialization and urbanization, intensive farming and deforesting, and other activities of modern society has left a legacy of groundwater contamination across the world. Thus, s=an important topic in groundwater science and engineering is the cleanup of contamination groundwater, or groundwater remediation.

Aquifer Flushing/Cleanup using a Drainage Gallery and Infiltration Channel
There was an incident with a cargo train that resulted in a major accidental spill of harmful chemicals. The contaminated groundwater is migrating toward a river used for drinking water supply for a large population center. Construction of a drainage gallery and an infiltration channel for aquifer flushing is proposed for the cleanup of the contaminant plume. Develop a MAGNET model of the groundwater inflow into the drainage gallery for the given parameters/conditions. Also solve the problem analytically and compare the results.
