The topics below describe the central component of a contaminant transport model, the transport pathway. A contaminant transport model is constructed by defining multiple transport pathways and linking them together into an interconnected network.
Transport pathways represent physical components through which species can move (and/or be stored) such as aquifers, lakes, sediments, surface soil compartments, and the atmosphere. In order to represent the wide variety of transport pathways which you may wish to simulate, GoldSim provides four different kinds of pathway elements: 1) Cell pathways; 2) Pipe pathways; 3) External pathways; and 4) Network pathways. These pathways can be used interchangeably within a model.
