Modelling The Effect of Hydraulic Conductivity on One Dimensional Contaminant Transport in RBF System
Riverbank filtration (RBF) system is a surface water technology that is basedon the natural treatment of filtration instead of the use of chemicals, to pre-treat sur-face water and provides public water supplies. Hydraulic conductivity value is one of thesignificant factors affecting the water quality in RBF systems. In this article, an analyti-cal modelling is developed to investigate the effect of this parameter on one dimensionalcontaminant transport in RBF system. The model is solved by using Green’s functionapproach. The model is applied for the first RBF system conducted in Malaysia. Gener-ally, the results show that increasing the hydraulic conductivity value lead to an increasein contaminant concentration in pumping well area.

Abstract
Riverbank filtration (RBF) system is a surface water technology that is basedon the natural treatment of filtration instead of the use of chemicals, to pre-treat sur-face water and provides public water supplies. Hydraulic conductivity value is one of thesignificant factors affecting the water quality in RBF systems. In this article, an analyti-cal modelling is developed to investigate the effect of this parameter on one dimensionalcontaminant transport in RBF system. The model is solved by using Green’s functionapproach. The model is applied for the first RBF system conducted in Malaysia. Gener-ally, the results show that increasing the hydraulic conductivity value lead to an increasein contaminant concentration in pumping well area.
