Problematic modelling and setting compliance values for contaminated groundwater in fractured rock aquifers -South Africa

Industrial Management Facilities represent a hazard to the down gradient surface water and groundwater environment. The assessment of the risks such facilities pose to the water environment is an important issue and certain compliance standards are set by regulators, particularly when the potential for an impact on the water environment has been identified. This paper will aim to describe how the contamination was conceptualized, estimated, limitations and how it is technically not feasible to establish one limit or compliance value of known contamination in different aquifers.
