Numerical simulations of water flow and contaminants transport near mining wastes disposed in a fractured rock mass

A numerical tool, called Hydro-Geosphere, was used to simulate unsaturated water flow and contaminants migration around an open pit filled with mining wastes. Numerical simulations had been carried out to assess the influence of various factors on water flow and solute transport in and around the su...
