Groundwater pollution impact on the rural areas

Abstract

This paper presents the impact of groundwater pollution on the land around irregular deposits on bordering
rural communities. Rural area has the ability to preserve and restore the natural environment due to reduced
anthropogenic pressure, associated with the type of economic exploitation and general development level of
productive forces. Environmental quality of rural life has important antistress effects and therefore it is
considered a heritage of humanity and should be kept. The paper is particularly important because we have
taken into account that aquifer is an important source of water. Pollution is a serious problem affecting the
environment and human health, in this case we want to present the study on pollution spreading. Historical
pollution site has not been seen to be dangerous, till now. The purpose of this paper is to highlight the
influence of pollution on rural areas in the neighborhood of inappropriate landfills and dumps storing waste
or byproducts from various industries. In this paper we show the evolution of the pollutant plume from the
landfill Şag-Parţa and a slag and ash dump Utvin, Timiş county. Both deposits are located near the town of
Timişoara. The models presented in this paper were performed using MODFLOW software.
