Health-Risk-Included Optimal Model for Groundwater Remediation Design under Uncertainty: A Case Study in Western Canada

Article Preview

Abstract:

Groundwater has been polluted in different countries, and the pollutants threat to public health. In groundwater remediation design, it is necessary to take health risk level into consideration, which should be as important as the environmental standards. This study advances a health-risk-included optimal model for groundwater remediation design under relaxed environmental standard constraints. It can simulate and optimize the groundwater remediation strategies, and help the decision makers to obtain optimal strategies from various remediation alternatives. The model is applied for a petroleum contaminated site in western Canada to simulate the Pump and Treat system.
