8 Tutorials of Contaminant Transport Modeling in Modflow and MT3DMS / MT3D
/
Groundwater remediation is a challenge for stakeholders, scientists and population due to the limited baselines, high uncertainty, limited budgets and timeframes, and not so strong modeling capabilities of related professionals on a general scope (don’t take it personal). We might think about the success of groundwater remediation when we achieve a big group - more than a hundred per country - of geoscientists whit high skills on groundwater modeling distributed on the private sector, the regulatory sector and academia.
We consider our blog as a valuable resource to learn groundwater modeling, however, even for us, the amount of tutorials in contaminant remediation are limited. This is a list of the tutorials related to contaminant modeling with open source software as MODFLOW, MT3DMS, MT3D, and Flopy:
Tutorial to simulate a contaminant plume from a waste dump with MODFLOW MT3DMS
Quick tutorial for the simulation of a contaminant plume from a waste dump.
How to simulate impact from pit latrines on water wells with MODFLOW - MT3DMS
This is a quick tutorial about the simulation of the a group of pit latrines impact on water well in Nigeria. Simulation done with MODFLOW and MT3DMS on transient conditions over 70 years.

Simulation Tutorial of Heavy Metals Bioaccumulation at Wetlands with MODFLOW-MT3DMS
This tutorial shows the process of cooper bioaccumulation in an aquifer over a period of 1000 years.
How to model a contaminant plume with ModelMuse and MT3DMS - Tutorial
In this tutorial we will show how to set up a MT3DMS in simple ModelMuse model in order to evaluate the degradation of the contaminant coming from a source.

Two-dimensional transport modeling in a radial flow field with MODFLOW and MT3DMS
MT3DMS, a three-dimensional transport model, will be used in this tutorial to simulate two-dimensional transport in a radial flow field.
2D Contaminant Transport Modeling with MODFLOW, MT3D-USGS and Flopy
In this opportunity we will use Flopy to replicate a 2D transport model from a previous post
