Calibrating the SMART Biosolids Model and Applying it to Fault Scenarios

Available as eBook only.

This report calibrates the groundwater transport pathway of the SMART Biosolid model to data obtained from field monitoring of wet weather events. The calibrated model is then applied to a wide variety of fault scenarios developed from an expert elicitation exercise. The estimated risks associated with scenarios are compared with estimated frequencies of occurrence found by a survey of biosolids land application practitioners to identify the scenarios of greatest concern.
