Abstract

The solid waste landfill in Zhenjiang New Area is located at the quarry entrance in the south wing of the beidingmountain of Zhenjiang New Area. Continuous heavy rainfall leads to a sharp rise in the groundwater level, causing swelling and damage to the side wall of the waterproof curtain on the east side of the foundation pit of the landfill site. As a result, the lower water level in the interior of the landfill site rises rapidly, resulting in the flooding of the landfill site and the destruction of the waterproof curtain on the east side of the foundation pit. Therefore, it is of great significance to analyze and evaluate the groundwater pollution in the study area. The main research methods are to investigate the regional hydrogeological conditions in detail and fully analyze the transport channel of groundwater pollutants in the study area. Two modules of Modflow and MT3D in GMS are used to establish groundwater flow model and solute transport model, and nitrate is selected as the sensitive factor to simulate and predict the transport law of groundwater pollutants. In the model, the pollutant leakage is 1% and 2% of the total sewage, and the migration rule, pollution range and concentration distribution of residual pollutants within 1500 days after the pollution source is cut off and the pollutant leakage continues for 180 days are simulated. According to the simulation prediction, the pollutant migrates slowly in groundwater. After the pollution source is cut off, the pollution area increases first and then decreases. The farthest migration of the pollutant is 281m, and the concentration is less than 20mg/L.
