Using the MIGRATEv9 software, contaminant transport from multiple sources, either at the surface or buried, can be modeled quickly and accurately in two-dimensions.

Unlike finite element and finite difference formulations, MIGRATEv9 does not require the use of a "time-marching" procedure. MIGRATEv9 uses a finite-layer technique (Rowe & Booker, 1991; Rowe et al, 1994) that provides numerically accurate and stable results, while requiring relatively little computational and data entry effort.

In addition to advective-dispersive transport, MIGRATEv9 can consider sorption, radioactive and biological decay, and transport through fractures.

One or more landfills, buried waste, spills, or disposal ponds can be modeled. These contaminant sources may be adjacent or offset from each other. Model properties may be either constant or transient, with the concentrations calculated at specified times, depths, and distances.

MIGRATEv9 is a DOS program that can be run in a Windows shell. The program supports a limited number of printers and screen resolutions.
