| Use advice for data set | When utilizing this data set, users should consider the specific conditions under which the pump-and-treat system operates, including the electrical power consumption and efficiency, the nature and level of groundwater contamination, and the proximity to sensitive ecosystems such as rivers. The technological applicability must be ensured by verifying that the remediation technology is suitable for the types and concentrations of pollutants present. It is also important to account for potential changes in the remediation effectiveness due to seasonal or climatic variations. Additionally, users must ensure that the treatment and disposal of the extracted water do not cause secondary pollution. |
| Technical purpose of product or process | This process describes an ex-situ groundwater remediation method, particularly the 'pump and treat' technique which is used to decontaminate groundwater. The described use is for areas where groundwater has been polluted and needs remediation, such as the specified location 600 meters from a river shore in northern Quebec, Canada. Electrically powered extraction wells and wastewater disposal facilities are utilized to pump the contaminated water, treat it to remove pollutants, and then return the remediated water to the environment or to the groundwater system. |
