1 AQUA th September 2015, ROME Low velocity areas' influence on contaminant persistence: a field study (Milan, Italy) Alberti Luca 1, Colombo Loris 1, Francani Vincenzo 1 1 Politecnico di Milano, DICA Dipartimento di Ingegneria Civile e Ambientale
2 AIM OF THE STUDY The city of Milan and its Functional Urban Area (FUA) host many contaminated sites. Soils and aquifer are interested by local (hotspots) and also diffusive (multiple-sources) contamination whose identification is recommended for optimal environmental management. Furthermore, the quality is significantly influenced by many others parameters such as the piezometric fluctuations and change on the regional groundwater flow direction. In particular, chlorinated solvents are showing long time persistence in the aquifers, at least since 1975, when they have been first detected in Milan drinking water. mg/l 25 mg/l 14 TCM_ TCM_ Serie1 Potenza (Serie1) Serie set-02 set-02 gen-04 gen-04 mag-05 ott-06 mag-05 feb-08ott-06 lug-09 feb-08 nov-10 lug-09 apr-12 ago-13 nov-10 dic-14 apr-12 Recently, Alberti et al. (2014), have underlined the possibility that in some polluted areas the presence of high concentration can be due to lower velocity areas if compared to neighboring zones.
3 AIM OF THE STUDY The aims of this study are to find possible parameters which can influence the contaminants in urban groundwater : 1. Statistical correlations between groundwater fluctuations and concentration of contaminants 2. Localization of low velocity areas in Milan s FUA and comparison with those areas with persistence concentration of pollutants in time. 3. Study the possible direction change of groundwater flow during time for those areas, and evaluate potential perturbation in concentration trend over time because of such changes.
4 METHODS AIM OF THE STUDY Possible influence on contaminations (piezometric fluctations, low velocity areas and flow change direction during time) TOOL Implementation of a numerical model in steady (May 2014) and unsteady state (from 2008 to 2014) RESULTS Identification of influencing phenomena on pollutants in urban groundwater Statistical correlations (thanks to a large dataset for the studied area)
5 CONCEPTUAL MODEL AND NUMERICAL MODEL IMPLEMENTATION (1/4) MODEL DOMAIN The model domain is extended to the north eastern part of Milan FUA and is characterized by areas with high density of productive/industrialized areas Previous studies (DICA-Politecnico di Milano) have underlined the possibility, for some contaminated areas, that the presence of a high contaminant concentration can be due to lower velocity with respect to the proximity zones. This situation could be preventing the renewal of groundwater quality. The preliminary feasibility study here shown could be the first step for individuation of critical areas where contaminants can be persistent during time

17 OBJECTIVES 3 PCE PLUMES CONCENTRATIONS DUE TO DIFFERENT GRADIENT IN TIME 19 Degrees A target flow direction groundwater flow measure the angle of the water flow where observed concentration change quickly during time
18 OBJECTIVES 3 PCE PLUMES CONCENTRATIONS DUE TO DIFFERENT GRADIENT IN TIME 20 A variation of direction in flow generates also a variation of concentration in monitoring wells
19 CONCLUSIONS Previous studies (Alberti et al., 2014) have shown the existence of large low velocity areas in the city of Milan. A more detailed steady and transient state model has been implemented for the NE sector of Milano city and its Functional Urban Area, where a huge number of data are available. The numerical model allows with more detail to compare the velocity variation in time in different areas with the pollutants concentration, in order to verify the hypothesis in the previous work. The results show that the low velocity areas are in high correlation with the higher concentrations of contaminants Furthermore, the numerical transient model allows to adequately evaluate the 3D local piezometric gradients, due to the significant changes in piezometric head observed in recent years ( ) in the FUA and the model. The results show that the direction flow can change over time, inducing eventually also a variations of concentrations for monitoring network wells. Proper management plans for groundwater and/or contaminated sites should consider these potential changes in direction of groundwater flow direction in order to avoid potential errors in monitoring wells data interpretation The present work can be improved by an increasing of transient target of groundwater levels and monitoring concentrations wells in proximity to the studied area. Future upgrades may be a possible upgrade of K and porosity values in case of more detailed future piezometric survey.
