10.3 A landfill is leaking an effluent with a concentration of sodium of 1250 mg/L. It seeps into an aquifer with a hydraulic conductivity of 9.8 m/day, a gradient of 0.0040, and an effective porosity of 0.15. A down-gradient monitoring well is located 25 m from the landfill. What would the sodium concentration be in this monitoring well 300 days after the leak begins? Note: In this problem you will need to find erfc(−x), which is equal to 1 + erf(x).
