Development of a high-resolution 3D geological model for landfill leachate risk assessment

Groundwater protection and risk assessment of contaminated sites (e.g. abandoned landfills, industrial waste facilities, gasoline stations, and dry cleaners) situated in complex glacial landscapes are extremely challenging. A common method to assess the risks for leakage and contamination of groundwater and surface water is to develop hydraulic models. However, reliable models need to contain information about both the three-dimensional (3D)...
