A large-scale computational approach for groundwater flow and contaminant transport and removal in porous media is presented. Emphasis is given to remediation procedures in horizontal subsurface flow constructed wetlands. For the numerical procedure, the MODFLOW computer code family is used. Application is made for the simulation of horizontal subsurface flow wetlands pilot-scale units, constructed and operated in Democritus University of Thrace, Xanthi, Greece. The effects of the inlet and outlet recharge positions to the optimum contaminant removal are also numerically investigated.
