New Software Predicts Results for Ground Water Cleanup Strategies
Already used at eight Department of Defense sites, a software package to predict results and timelines for cleaning up ground water contamination is being offered free of charge to environmental cleanup professionals.
A software package, developed at Virginia Tech, to predict results and timelines for cleaning up ground water contamination, has been used at eight Department of Defense sites and is being offered free to environmental cleanup professionals.
The Natural Attenuation Software (NAS) was developed with funding from the U.S. Navy and in collaboration with U.S. Geological Survey for application to ground water systems. It was designed to help environmental cleanup professionals estimate how far underground plumes of contamination will migrate from a source, such as a solvent spill or underground gasoline storage tank leak, and how long cleanup will take with natural attenuation in various environments with or without use of remediation technologies.
