| Short description: |
MISP is an analytical model for estimating the impact on groundwater, of a pollutant source located above the water table.
|
| Long description: |
MISP allows several options for pollutant source behaviour:
- A constant source concentration, of limited duration,
- A source concentration which decays exponentially,
- A source concentration defined by diffusive pollutant release from a solid matrix (case of stabilised waste),
- An arbitrary source concentration, read in a separate file.
The main characteristic of MISP, compared to analogous analytical models, is that it does not rely on the hypothesis of a ' mixing layer ' to estimate an aquifer concentration below the source zone. MISP combines, through convolution, a solution for vertical pollutant migration from the source to the water table, with a 3-D solution for migration in the aquifer from a horizontal plane source located at the water table.
