We present some error estimates for a finite volume scheme applied to a nonlinear advection-reaction-diffusion equation, where the velocity is deduced from Darcy’s law together with a uniformly parabolic equation for the liquid pressure. This system describes the transport of a contaminant in groundwater flow.
