Overview

Modeling explores how water quality sensors estimate hydrocarbon levels in groundwater, suggesting quick detection and monitoring solutions.

Key Points

  • Strong correlations between hydrocarbons and water quality sensors were identified, particularly with dissolved oxygen and oxidation-reduction potential.
  • Rolling Spearman's correlation values exceeded |0.8|, indicating significant relationships across varying observation periods.
  • Reactive transport modeling simulated hydrocarbon fate in a heterogeneous sandy aquifer under transient conditions to uncover correlation occurrences and influences on detection accuracy. Observational limits depend on hydraulic conductivity and mineral availability, indicating that the model supports early detection and long-term monitoring.
