Details

Use this worksheet to assist groundwater risk assessment for treated effluent discharges to infiltration systems.

It should be used in conjunction with the user manual.

This tool is designed to assess concentrations at the compliance point. To understand pollutant fate and transport within the plume, an alternative, more detailed model should be used (for example, ConSim).
