Abstract
Trichloroethylene (TCE) is one of the most frequently occurring contaminants in groundwater of urban and industrial areas. In this study, we evaluated the distribution of hydraulic parameters from a short-term (24 hours) pumping and that of contaminants using TCE concentrations at the pumping and monitoring wells during and after the pumping in a TCE contaminated aquifer. The changes in TCE concentrations at the wells were classified into 1) partly decrease during pumping and increase after pumping stop, 2) sustained like the initial values and 3) decrease during and after the pumping. These different behaviors at each well can be attributed to existence of high or low concentration plumes at nearby areas. Especially, the distinct increasing trends of TCE concentrations in the right region of the study area require an additional investigation for its outer region. In the meanwhile, hydraulic conductivities estimated the pumping results revealed neither significant difference with the analysis methods nor distinctive anisotropy. This study is meaningful because we have simultaneously evaluated both the distributions of the hydraulic parameters and the contaminants using the single short-term pumping.
