Abstract: In this paper, a methodology has been presented to show the combination of groundwater and transport models, satellite images and uncertainty quantification to visualize the flow pattern and the transport mechanisms for decision makers. The methodology has been applied on a wastewater lake, called Buraiman or (Almusk) lake, that has been the dumping site of Jeddah’s sewage wastewater since about ten years. Various flow scenarios has been considered to match the aquifer response under the limited data collected from the literature and satellite images. The Monte-Carlo methodology together with GIS and satellite images are useful tools to account for uncertainty and limitations of the data. The envelope maps that are generated by the Monte-Carlo approach to account for uncertainty are practical tools in the process of decision support system for decision makers and planners.
Key words: Contaminant transport • Sewage lake • Jeddah • Groundwater modeling • GIS applications |
