Abstract : Accurate detection of a landfill leakage through a few monitoring well is rather difficult and complicated due to the uncertainty of subsurface heterogeneity. The incomplete knowledge of hydrogeologic characteristics at a site is one of the major reasons for the failure of the monitoring networks at landfill sites. In this study, hydraulic conductivity is assumed to be the major contributor to uncertainty at the landfill site. The influence of the spatial variability of hydraulic conductivity on contaminant plume detection has been investigated. Logarithm of hydraulic conductivity field is modeled in two ways: 1) as a Gaussian stationary distribution with mean, variance and a correlation length, 2) as a non-Gaussian distribution using a coupled Markov chain model. The detection probabilities of the contaminant plume, which were determined by using the two approaches, have been compared.
