Short summary
We performed and evaluated a pulse injection tracer test in an artificial recharge system to understand the fate of potential contaminants.
A 2-D multilayer model (under homogeneous and heterogeneous medium hypothesis) was used to evaluate the measured breakthrough curves at six points.
Both homogeneous and heterogeneous models reproduce the long tails observed. This implies that the shapes of the breakthrough curves are caused not only by heterogeneity, but also by the mean flow structure.
We performed and evaluated a pulse injection tracer test in an artificial recharge system to...
