Abstract

The contaminants which result from different types of agricultural and industrial wastes are considered the source of soil pollution. Lead contaminants which may cause irreparable danger while entering the food chain. This research presents an application of numerical models in order to investigate the transport process of lead through soil layers. Two software products, SEEP/W and CTRAN/W, are used to analyze the lead contaminant transport. The behavior of lead transport through layered soil is tested without using a method of control and with the usage of two methods of control. These are sheet pile method or isolation method. They are used to minimize the impact on the environment. The study results show that the sheet pile method is considered to be the most economically effective and the most flexible method in protecting the soil.
