Groundwater Contamination Originating from Continuous Oil Leakage from an Underground Source

  • Conference paper

  • 225 Accesses

Abstract

Transport of pollutants is an important engineering and environmental problem. Groundwater contamination may result from contaminant leakages from various sources, including storage tanks, pipelines, etc. This study is devoted to investigation of the contamination pattern which may result from such leakages.
